A soup-er love story!
-Randal x pushover !reader thought I'd make a fanfic based on the head cannons I made!
You werenât sure how you got here. Well, you knew howâRandal had asked you over for dinner with his trademark unsettlingly sweet smile, and as always, you couldnât say no. But why you agreed to let him cook was another matter entirely.
The faint smell of mushrooms and something earthy wafted through the kitchen as you nervously perched on a rickety stool. Randal, wearing an apron that read Master Chef in bold black letters, hummed to himself. His movements were graceful but erratic, like he was trying to follow a recipe heâd made up on the spot.
You wonder how Luther allowed this.
âThis is going to be amazing,â he said, glancing over his shoulder at you. His eyes sparkled with an innocent excitement that, as usual, felt just a little... off.
âYeah, Iâm sure it will be,â you said weakly. It wasnât that you didnât trust him⊠wait, no, that was exactly it. The last time he tried to bake cookies, heâd accidentally used salt instead of sugar. They were inedible, but youâd still eaten three just to avoid hurting his feelings.
You had a sinking feeling this would be another one of those nights.
âHere we go,â Randal said, grinning as he ladled a steaming, murky liquid into a chipped bowl. A few chunks of mushroom floated ominously to the surface, their dark caps shiny and unfamiliar. âShiitake soup. Saw it in one of those anime we watched! Looks good, right?â
You stared at the bowl. The smell was strongâearthy, bitter, and almost chemical. Something deep inside you whispered that this was a bad idea. A very bad idea.
But then Randal leaned forward, his face close to yours. His smile was warm but his eyes gleamed in a way that made your stomach flip. âYouâll eat it, right? For me?â
You gulped. âOf course,â you said, forcing a smile.
He beamed and handed you a spoon. With shaking hands, you scooped up a piece of mushroom, letting the broth drip off before hesitantly placing it in your mouth.
The taste was⊠indescribable. Bitter, metallic, and vaguely reminiscent of dirt. You gagged almost immediately, your bodyâs natural defenses screaming at you to spit it out. But Randal was watching, his head tilted and an expectant look on his face.
âMmm,â you managed, swallowing hard. Your throat burned as it went down, and your stomach churned in protest.
âYou like it?â Randal asked, his grin widening.
âItâs⊠yummy..â you said diplomatically, reaching for your glass of water. You downed it in one go, hoping to wash away the taste.
âAwesome! Here, have more,â he said, plopping another ladleful into your bowl.
You couldnât say no. You never could.
By the time you finished the second bowl, youâd gagged at least fifteen times, each one more dramatic than the last. Your face was pale, and sweat beaded on your forehead. Randal either didnât notice or pretended not to. He was too busy watching you with an adoring gaze that made your skin crawl and your heart twist with guilt.
âYouâre so perfect,â he murmured, leaning closer. âI knew youâd love it. Youâre mine forever, you know? No take-backs.â
âHaha, yeah,â you said weakly, forcing another smile. Your vision blurred for a moment, and your stomach gave a violent lurch. âExcuse me for a second,â you mumbled, standing up on wobbly legs.
âSure. Donât be gone too long, though,â Randal said, his tone light but his eyes piercing.
You barely made it to the bathroom before you were doubled over, heaving into the toilet. Your body rejected every last trace of the soup with a vengeance. When you finally straightened up, your head spinning and your stomach empty, you stared at your reflection in the mirror.
âWhy do I do this to myself?â you muttered.
A soft knock at the door made you jump. âYou okay in there?â Randalâs voice called, tinged with genuine concern.
âYeah, fine!â you called back, forcing cheer into your voice. âJust⊠needed a moment.â
When you returned to the kitchen, Randal was cleaning up , well attempting to. He looked up as you walked in and smiled that same unsettlingly smile.
âFeeling better?â he asked.
âMuch better,â you lied.
He held out a hand, pulling you into a hug that was both comforting and suffocating. âGood. Youâre mine, you know? Iâll always take care of you.â
You patted his back awkwardly, your heart pounding. âThanks, Randal.â
Somewhere in the back of your mind, you wondered if youâd ever learn to say no.
------
The next morning, you woke up feeling like death warmed over. Your head throbbed, your stomach churned, and your limbs felt as heavy as lead. You groaned, rolling onto your side, and glanced at your phone. There was a message from Randal, cheerful as ever:
"Canât wait to hang out today! Meet at the old playground at noon? Donât be late~"
You stared at the screen, your head pounding with every heartbeat. You felt like you were on the verge of throwing up again, but the thought of canceling on Randal filled you with dread. You couldnât say no to him. Not after last night. Not ever, it seemed.
By the time you arrived at the playground, bundled in your warmest coat and scarf to stave off the lingering chills, Randal was already there. He waved enthusiastically, his grin as wide and unnervingly sweet as ever.
âYou made it!â he said, bounding over to you. âI was worried youâd flake. Youâre not looking so great⊠but thatâs okay. Iâll make sure you feel better.â
âThanks,â you croaked, your voice barely above a whisper. You felt like you were sleepwalking, your mind foggy and your body weak.
Randal looped an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close as you both started walking. âWeâll have so much fun today,â he said, his tone almost giddy. âIâve got the whole day planned.â
You forced a smile, your stomach twisting in knots. Deep down, you knew today was going to be as exhausting as it was strange. But you didnât have the energy to argueâand even if you did, you doubted it would change anything.
P.S! im so sorry for not writing for so long you guys!!! i was lacking the motivation but i will try uploading more regularly now! also not proof read!

I love it so much when I see people selfshipping with goofy cartoon characters. Anton is not that by definition but he 100% is that in spirit so I am holding hands with all of you. Frolic with me yayyy lalalalala âĄ
#I love my silly toony guy and I love when other people love their silly toony f/os âĄ#I don't just mean cartoon f/os in general I specifically mean the types who are on some looney tunes shit#they need to have exaggerated sillyfunny animations and follow goofy toon logic it's very important#would their teeth get replaced with the ivory keys if they had a piano dropped on their head. this is a determining factor here.#tbh they don't even have to be a cartoon character they just have to be cartoony. I am literally using anton as my example#roz posts

ouughh im not going to change her to harlequin because i love how she looks with cherub too much but MAN harlequin ivory makes arctic super duper matchy
#arctic.txt#dragon share#my beautiful baby progen gorl#i will say though her not getting the same snout face make up as the other f poses does make her look a lil bare#i havent checked other colors with harlequin f skydancer yet#but i did notice that there are Some variations that seem intentional? i think? a ton of ivory f harlequin poses dont have an orange snout#while f ivory obelisks have an orange chin and f ivory mirrors have a full on orange nose and chin#where as f ivory bogsneak and ridgeback just have the brown face markings and f pearlcatcher is completely bare just like f skydancer#its def the kind of thing that seems like an art error but based on the preview dragons in the announcement it very well may be intentional#this time! which would be cool imo

a song of past romance a royal / greek au gojo fic

pairing âžș suitor/king!gojo x princess!reader
summary âžș king gojo satoru of ithaca travels to sparta, seeking to win over who they say is the most beautiful mortal woman's heart. so when he sees you upon his arrival weaving under an olive tree, looking goddess-sent, he immediately loses the plot and concludes that it must be you that the tales and legends must talk about. it is not, but gojo has chosen who his queen will be. as gojo continues to break down your walls with his endless devotion and silver tongue, you must decide: will you let duty and your loved ones's expectations decide your fate, or will you choose the man who would defy even the heavens to claim you as his queen ?
warnings âžș smut, p i v sex, oral f recieving, whimpering gojo agenda <3, fluff, a big of angst if you squint, some insecurity, pining, banterTM, gojo is really whipped for reader, odypen inspired (this one's for my epic/pjo baddies), extensive greek mythology knowledge not needed, athena is tired of gojo lol, jealousy, helen is a sassy diva, not totally accurate to the lore of the illiad bc i just use the premise, mentions of children/pregnancy at the end if you squint, semi edited, art by @/yunonoaii
a/n my hyperfixation made me write this lol. you dont need to know anything about greek mythology to read this fic it's more of a period piece / royal au :3
general masterlist
You had registered the young manâs presence for quite some time now.
Ever since your beloved cousin Helenâthe most beautiful woman in the world, the kallikomos, kalliparÄios Helenâhad come of age, your palace had been plagued by an unceasing tide of suitors. Even a respite alone in the garden, in peace, was not guaranteed to you; just as the ivory haired suitor (who thought himself furitive) that had been sneaking and skirting around you for a while now, there were countless of men on the palace grounds desperate to even get a glimpse of what the countless legends and tales about Helen had described.Â
Though, you werenât jealous of your lovely cousinâyou loved her to death. But it was getting on your nerves, because you had hoped for a quiet evening relaxing under the olive tree you were sitting in. This mn, however, was different.
For some time now, the ivory-haired suitor had been skirting the edges of your sanctuary, moving as though he thought himself invisible. You could feel his gaze, sharp and intent, as you alternated between weaving and reading. His persistence should have irritated you. And yet, there was something amusing about his poor attempt at stealth.
The telltale rustle of grass betrayed him once again. You sighed, tucking a stray lock of hair behind your ear before reaching up to gather it all, baring the curve of your neck to the evening breeze.
The stalker suitor tripped with a loud thud.
You blinked. Then, sighing once more, you set down your spindle and turned. "I know youâre there," you called, unimpressed.
Silence, then a low chuckle.
When he finally stepped into the open, your disinterested gaze liftedâand promptly widened.
Tall. Broad-shouldered. The build of a warrior, yet the face of a prince. A mischievous, almost boyish charm softened the sharp lines of his features, but his striking blue eyes gleamed with something untamed.
Helen would have a field day with him. Like that one thing she said about how she looovedd versatile men, the ones that could manhandle you but also whimper. Or whatever.Â
Then, to your utter shock, he dropped to one knee, extending his hand toward you in a bold gesture of devotion. His demeanor was confident, but you saw him sporting a hue of pink on his cheeks. It was rather cute, but any feelings of fondness disappeared at his next words.
"Oâ Helenâ" the suitor began, his voice rich with reverence, "fairest of all women, whose beauty outshines even the dawnâ"
You exhaled sharply through your nose. Of course.
"âpermit me but a moment to bask in your radiance, for no mortal man could gaze upon you and remain unchangedâ"
Your fingers curled tightly around the threads of your spindle.
"âgrant me the honor ofâ"
"Try again," you cut in, your voice deceptively sweet.
The suitor paused mid-sentence, blinking up at you.
"Pardon?"
You raised an unimpressed brow, tilting your head. "If youâre going to wax poetic, you might at least direct it toward the right woman."
His lips parted, then pressed into a puzzled frown. He tilted his head, sharp blue eyes scanning your face as if trying to decipher a riddle. "But⊠you are Helen," he said slowly, as if testing the words.
You let out a short laugh, shaking your head. "Afraid not."
A pause.
His gaze flickered over you again, as if he could will you into being Helen just by staring hard enough. "Are you sure?"
You gave him a look. "I would hope I know my own name."
His brows drew together, clearly struggling to process this revelation. "But youâreâyouâre sitting under an olive tree, looking vaguely divine. Your hair caught the light just now in a way that seemed very⊠goddess-sent. You have the whole tragic air of someone who is probably devastatingly beautiful and sought after by hundreds."
You blinked, trying to fight the heat creeping up your neck. You shouldnât be affected by his bromides, for his words must be a ploy to gain back his image after offending you. "Is that supposed to be an apology?"
He squinted. "More like a logical assessment of my mistake."
You sighed. "Well, your 'logical assessment' is incorrect."
He sat back on his heels, regarding you with blatant skepticism. "I donât know," he said slowly. "I came here for Helen. Youâre here. And you're lovely. Seems like a very Helen thing to do."
You gave him a flat stare in return. "What, exist?"
"Exactly."
You rolled your eyes. "I see why they make you fight instead of think."
At that, the suitor huffed a short laugh, his earlier embarrassment giving way to something more amused, more interested. "Alright," he conceded, crossing his arms over his knee. "If you arenât Helen, then who are you?"
You leaned back against the tree, allowing yourself a small, satisfied smirk. "The woman you just proposed to by accident."
He blinked. Then groaned, dragging a hand down his face. "The gods are laughing at me."
"As they should," you replied smoothly.
To your surprise, he grinned. "That makes two of us, then," he mused, tilting his head at you. "I get the feeling you enjoy seeing men suffer."
A non committal hum from you. âMaybe, maybe not.â With that, you began weaving once more, giving him the signal that his presence and platitudes were no longer needed. Â
Yet, he remained.
You could feel his gaze lingering, heavy with an amusement that refused to wane. He had the look of someone thoroughly entertained, and that irritated you more than anything. Having conversed with him, you knew he was sharper than the average suitorâquick-witted, quicker still to recover from his blunders. Though he had not done anything to overtly suggest it, there was something about him that set him apart. It was a feelingâan air around him, something god-graced.
You paid it no mind.
He had not meant for you to be the one on the receiving end of his affection, and it would do you no good to cling to a man who had come here seeking another. He was meant to lose his mind over Helen, not take interest in you.
"Tell me your name," he said suddenly, breaking the silence.
You didn't pause in your weaving. "Why?"
A short huff of laughter. "I figure if Iâm already embarrassing myself in front of a woman, I should at least know which one."
You shot him a sidelong glance, unimpressed. "Bold of you to assume youâll be staying long enough for it to matter."
His grin deepened. "Well, now I have to stay, just to prove you wrong."
You sighed, shaking your head. "Youâre insufferable."
"Iâve been told worse," he admitted. Then, leaning forward just slightly, he added, "Though never by a woman whose name I donât know."
You lifted a brow at him, unimpressed. "And do you have a name, then, mysterious suitor?"
His expression shifted, something proud yet teasing gleaming in those striking blue eyes.
"Gojo Satoru," he declared, as if it should mean something to you. "Of Ithaca."
You hummed, as if considering. "Never heard of it."
He blinked, then scoffed. "Never heard of Ithaca?" He placed a hand over his chest in mock offense. "A land of brilliant minds, fierce warriors, and some say the most handsome men to ever walk the earthâ"
"Ah," you interjected, dry. "That explains it."
He smirked. "Explains what?"
"Why Iâve never heard of it."
A beat of silence. Then, to your dismay, he laughedâfully, unabashedly, as if youâd just handed him the greatest gift in the world.
You huffed, returning your attention to your weaving. "Now that you have a name to be proud of, surely you can be on your way."
"Not yet," he said, far too easily.
You didnât look up. "Why?"
"Because you havenât given me yours."
You didnât miss the way his voice dipped, taking on something smoother, something more coaxing. He was trying to charm it out of you, as if your name was a prize worth winning.
"Perhaps I simply donât wish to give it," you mused, feigning disinterest.
"Perhaps youâre afraid," he countered.
You did look up at that, leveling him with an unimpressed stare. "Afraid?"
He shrugged, utterly unbothered. "That if I know your name, Iâll never forget it." His gaze flickered to your hands, to the weaving that had slowed ever so slightly. "And maybe⊠neither will you."
You forced yourself to resume your work, your fingers steady despite the odd flutter in your chest. "You think too highly of yourself, Gojo Satoru of Ithaca."
"Iâm told itâs my greatest flaw," he admitted, smirking. "Wellâone of many."
You ignored him, the rhythmic motion of your weaving serving as a convenient distraction.
Gojo exhaled, as if relentingâthough something told you he was nowhere near finished with you. He rocked back on his heels, eyeing you with unconcealed interest. "Alright, mystery woman," he drawled. "If you wonât give me your name, I suppose Iâll have to keep guessing."
You didn't dignify that with a response.
But somehow, you knewâthis would not be the last time Gojo Satoru of Ithaca sought you out.
He had yet to claim your name.
No matter how cunningly he pried, no matter how sweetly he coaxed, you remained steadfast, denying him that small but significant victory.
Satoru had undoubtedly set sail for Sparta in search of a worthy challenge and a faithful brideâbut he had not expected to find both in one woman. You were a puzzle, divine and elusive, a riddle spun by the Fates themselves. And for a man who relished the thrill of unraveling mysteries, you were the most captivating enigma he had ever encountered.
Not since the day he bested the enchanted boarâa feat that had drawn Athenaâs keen eye and earned him her favorâhad he felt such a rush.
Heâd dare say you were the first one heâs felt an affinity for, despite the countless of women and candidates he had faced ever since becoming the king of Ithaca.
But before he could ponder more on the thought, he sensed a presence, tensing immediately. Heavy-set footsteps, trying to be quiet in the hallway they were both in.
Satoru crossed his arms, halted where he was. âI know youâre there.â
A laugh barked out in a deep voice. âPerceptive like they say, Gojo Satoru of Ithaca.âÂ
Satoru watched as Toji Fushiguro sauntered toward him, his movements unhurried, yet carrying the unmistakable confidence of a seasoned warrior. The man was broad-shouldered, his presence commanding, the kind of brute who could cleave a man in half with a single swing of his blade. Yet his grinâsharp, knowingâheld more calculation than recklessness.
Toji came to a stop before him, arms crossed, weight shifted onto one foot like he had all the time in the world, smirking. "No wonder Athenaâs got her eye on you."
Satoru tilted his head, feigning nonchalance. "I do have a way of impressing gods and mortals alike," he mused. "Though I imagine you didnât come all this way just to admire me."
âJust assessing the competition,â Toji hums in response, eyes still assessing Satoru. He was trying to plan three steps ahead; unfortunately for him, Satoru was ten steps ahead.Â
âThere is no competition,â comes Satoruâs cool response.Â
Toji studied Satoru for a moment, his sharp green eyes narrowing slightly. Then, with an amused scoff, he asked, "Youâre not here to fight for Helenâs hand? Are you crazy?â
Satoru let out a low chuckle, shaking his head as if the very thought was amusing. "Helen?" he echoed, letting the name roll from his tongue with deliberate care. He lifted a hand, absently brushing an imaginary speck of dust from his sleeve. "No, Iâm afraid I have no interest in her."
Toji studied him, eyes narrowing. "Sheâs the most beautiful woman in the world."
Satoru did not deny it. "So they say."
"And yet," Toji pressed, his tone skeptical, "you arenât here for her?"
Satoru finally looked at him properly, his head tilting, his gaze alight with something teasing, something unreadable. "Not in the way you are." He let the words settle between them before continuing, his tone almost indulgent. "Youâre welcome to her."
Tojiâs mouth pressed into a thin line. His instincts told him Satoru was not lying, yet something about the Ithacanâs expression, the way he carried himself, the glint in those striking blue eyesâit all made him wary. He had met many warriors in his time, but this was no brute with a sword, no hotheaded prince desperate to claim a prize.
Satoru Gojo was something else entirely.
"So what is it, then?" Toji asked, crossing his arms tighter, his voice edged with suspicion. "You sailed all this way, and for what? A festival?"
Satoruâs smirk deepened, his expression inscrutable. "Letâs just say Sparta has given me a rather interesting puzzle."
Toji scoffed but let it drop, running a hand through his dark hair. "Whatever," he muttered. "If you're really not here for Helen, then maybe you can help me."
Satoru hummed in vague interest. "Oh?"
"I intend to win her," Toji stated plainly. "But I could use an extra hand in ensuring things go my way."
Satoru did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze upward, as though admiring the vaulted ceilings of the hall, as though considering some grander design that only he could see. Then, with the ease of a man wholly unbothered by the concerns of others, he exhaled through his nose, the beginnings of a smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"Don't worry about it," he said at last, his voice rich with something almost too smooth, too assured. "Everything is already falling into place."
Toji stiffened slightly at the words, his war-honed instincts bristling at their implication. He did not like things he could not predict, and Gojo Satoru of Ithaca was proving to be as unreadable as the gods themselves.
His brows lowered. "And what the hell does that mean?"
But Satoru only laughed, turning on his heel, the faintest shimmer of torchlight catching in his silver-white hair.
"Guess youâll just have to wait and see."
And with that, he strode off, his footsteps unhurried, leaving Toji standing in the flickering shadows, frowning after him.
The great hall of Sparta was alive with the clash of bronze and the roars of men. The suitors, assembled from all corners of Greece, fought with a desperation that could only belong to those who sought glory and the hand of Helen. Blades flashed, spears thrust, and the resounding clamor of shields meeting shields filled the air like the din of battle.
Satoru Gojo of Ithaca stood at the edge of the fray, watching with a detached amusement. He had not drawn his blade, nor did he so much as feign interest in the chaos unfolding before him. Instead, his arms were loosely crossed, his posture relaxed, his sharp blue gaze studying each warrior as though they were mere pieces on a game board.
Meanwhile, you and Helen watched from the shade of a marble colonnade, seated atop a cushioned bench where servants had arranged fruits and wine for the both of you. But neither of you reached for the offerings; your gazes remained transfixed on the chaos below.
You shook your head at the ridiculous display. "It must be nice to be fought for by so many men," you murmured, resting your chin in your palm.
Helen sighed daintilyâin a way that was so typically Helen it made you smile fondlyâher hair catching the afternoon light like threads spun from the sun itself. âI will admit that it has its advantages.â
You cast her a dry look before gesturing at the men below. âHelen,â you shook your head, sighing exasperatedly, âtheyâre savages. Theyâre beating each other senselessly. Does this not disgust you?â Instead, your cousinâs beautiful lips curled up in a knowing smile, teasing you, âJealous, my dear cousin?â
âNo.â But the answer came a little too quickly, a little too defensively. The yells and violence was a display of brutishnessâbut you would not be truthful to yourself if you didnât admit that you were a bit envious of the attention your cousin was getting.Â
However, one would be a fool to confuse your sentiments for bitternessâas a princess yourself, there were no shortage of men who would be here to get you as a prize, if they did not get Helen. No shortage of men wondering who is he? Who is the man whoâll have the princess as his wife?
But unfortunately, it seemed that your father, the Spartan king Icarius, had other plans, for he would not let any man be your husband so easily. In fact, he did not wish you to marry and be taken away from him.
It was safe to say that not much male attention was on you due to this obstacle.
Helen showed no reaction to your response, but only hummed. âThis fightingâsooner or later, youâre going to be in my shoes. Youâre going to have to choose at one point, too, my dear.âÂ
âSays who?â You scoffed, turning your eyes back to the courtyard. âDo not forget Helen, these men want power. Power so they can tower above each other, place themselves above all others.â
Helen shrugged. âSo what?â
You shook your head. âSilly Helen. Wouldnât you prefer some intellectual prowess over someâŠsavage?â Â
Before Helen could reply, a shift in the air drew both of your attention back to the courtyard.
The chaos had stilled, if only for a moment. A singular figure stood at the center of it all, his ivory hair catching the wind, his stance languid yet poised.
That suitor.
The gathered nobles whispered among themselves, exchanging glances as Satoru approached the high table where the King of Sparta, Tyndareus, sat watching. The aged king stroked his beard, his expression unreadable as the Ithacan prince stopped before him, offering a bow that barely concealed the glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Your Majesty," Satoru began smoothly, "it seems we have our victor. But before we move forward, I believe there is an agreement that must be made."
The murmurs in the hall grew louder. Tyndareus narrowed his eyes slightly. "Speak, Gojo of Ithaca."
Satoru straightened, clasping his hands behind his back. "These men have come from every kingdom in Greece, each seeking the honor of marrying your daughter. Such a prize, however, comes with its dangers. Whoever wins Helenâs hand will earn not just her love but the envy and ire of the rest." He paused, letting the weight of his words settle over the hall. "If left unchecked, this jealousy could lead to war."
Tyndareusâs jaw tightened. It was a concern he himself had harbored, though few had dared to speak it outright.
Satoruâs lips curled at the edges, his voice turning smooth, persuasive. "I propose an oath. Let every suitor here, whether victorious or defeated, swear allegiance to Helenâs chosen husband. Let them vow, upon the gods, to uphold this union and defend it should any outside force seek to undo it. In doing so, Sparta ensures peace among the great kingdoms, rather than sows the seeds of discord."
Silence fell over the hall. The assembled nobles exchanged glances, the weight of the proposal heavy in the air. Even Toji, ever the warrior, raised a brow in consideration.
Tyndareus studied Satoru for a long moment, his fingers tapping against the armrest of his throne. Then, slowly, he nodded. "You are wise beyond your years, Gojo of Ithaca. Your proposal is sound. Let it be done."
A herald stepped forward, calling for the gathered suitors to kneel. One by one, they bent the knee, placing their hands over their hearts, swearing their loyalty to Helenâs future husband, binding themselves to an oath that would shape the course of history.
As the final echoes of the vow rang through the hall, Satoru turned his gaze to Toji, his smirk deepening ever so slightly. The pieces were falling into place, just as he had foreseen.
Meanwhile, in your placeâwhere you and Helen were spectating the whole event away from common sightâHelen nudged you slightly, voice hushed in interest you hadnât seen her display for any suitor yet. âDid you see thatâthe way he sweet talked my father?â Her gentle eyes widened in a way that could kill a man. âWho is he?â
You had no answer. Because, truthfully, you were wondering the same thing.
The palace gardens were quiet at this hour, bathed in the golden glow of the late afternoon sun. The scent of myrrh and olive trees lingered in the air, mixing with the faint salt of the distant sea. You sat with Helen beneath the shade of a vine-laden pergola, her back pressed against your legs as you wove your fingers through her silken strands, carefully braiding them into an intricate plait.
Helen, ever the restless one, sighed dramatically. âDo you suppose I should be flattered or terrified?â
You didnât have to ask what she meant. The courtyard had been in an uproar for hours after the suitorsâ oath had been sworn. Servants gossiped in hushed tones, and noblewomen tittered behind their veils. The future queen of Sparta had just gained the loyalty of every warrior presentâwhether she wanted it or not.
âWhy not both?â you mused, separating another section of her hair.
Helen laughed, tossing her head slightly. âIt is one thing to be the object of admiration. It is quite another to be the cause of bloodshed.â
You hummed in acknowledgment, though your fingers stilled when she spoke again, voice full of mischief.
âDid you see him?â
You resumed braiding. âWho?â
Helen turned just enough to throw you an incredulous look. âWho?â she repeated, mockingly. âAs if you do not know exactly who I speak of. Gojo Satoru of Ithaca.â
You clicked your tongue. âOh, him.â
âOh, him?â Helen scoffed. âDo not play coy, cousin. He commanded that entire courtyard without lifting a blade.â
You smiled, but she could not see you. âThat only proves he is cunning,â you pointed out, keeping your voice neutral.
âThat proves he is powerful,â Helen countered, shifting as you tugged lightly at her braid. âHe held those men in the palm of his hand.â
Barking out a laugh, you continued your work. âOr perhaps he simply enjoys hearing himself speak.â
Helen laughed, tilting her head back against your lap. âYou wound me with your dullness. Do you not see? There was something about him. He has the air of a man accustomed to winning.â
You tried not to scowl. Of course he did.
And if Helen had her eye on him, there was no chance for you.
The thought settled in your chest like a stone.
It was not as though you had entertained any hopesâbut you were not blind. The way he had looked at you in the hallways, the way he had tried to coax your name from you, the way he had seemed amused by your defiance. It had sparked something treacherous inside of you, something unspoken and foolish.
Because no man, no matter how powerful or wise, would ever choose you over Helen.
You forced your thoughts aside and tightened the braid. âAnd what of Toji Fushiguro?â you asked lightly, forcing the subject to change. âI noticed you watching him as well.â
Helen hummed, pleased with the shift in conversation. âA brute, but a striking one. I imagine he fights as well as he looks.â
You snorted. âI imagine he thinks with his fists.â
âAll the better,â Helen teased. âI should not mind a warrior who throws me over his shoulder and carries me off.â
You rolled your eyes, but you giggled regardless. âYou are insufferable.â
Helen twisted, kneeling so that you were now face to face. She reached for your hair, her fingers beginning to weave it into a braid of your own.
âYou say I am insufferable, but you have yet to deny that Gojo Satoru is worth admiring,â she murmured.
You sighed exasperatedly, looking anywhere except for your cousinâs eyes. âMust we discuss this?â
Helenâs fingers worked deftly, her expression smug. âIt is only natural to discuss the most intriguing men.â
âAnd yet I am sure you are doing it to torment me.â
âPerhaps a little.â Helenâs grin softened as she studied you. âYou would not be so opposed to him if you did not find him interesting.â
You swallowed, looking away. âThat is notââ
âYou braid my hair with such care,â she interrupted, looping another section of yours. âAnd yet, you guard your own thoughts as if I am the enemy.â
You closed your eyes briefly, inhaling the scent of lavender and sun-warmed stone. Helen had always been perceptive when she wished to be.
âThere is nothing to guard,â you murmured.
Helen merely smiled, finishing your braid with a satisfied tug.
But the knowing look in her eyes unsettled you more than any battle in the courtyard ever could.
Despite coming for Helen, Satoru continuously seeks your presence.
Your presence is intoxicating, even the smallest of glimpses of you enough to induce a feeling, one heâd liken to eating the godsâ ambrosia or drinking the finest nectar. Every time he saw you, it was passing moments in the hallways of the palace or sneaked glances while you were in the gardenâyour chin up, posture proud. Your eyes downcast as if you had no interest in the countless of men among you. The light only returned when you were weaving, or discussing with your cousin.
But Satoru had not been able to see you more than just those miniscule, fleeting momentsâit was your accursed father that kept an eye on you during dinners, his withered glare threatening all suitors, as if to remind them: Youâre here for Helen, and keep my daughter out of this, for she is not a prize you can easily win.
Little did he know Satoru loved challenges.
So he thanks the gods that an annual Spartan festival is thoroughly celebrated in the palace today.
The hall is the spitting image of revelry. Men adorn their finest tunics while women have braids of flowers and cloths, wine, fresh fruits, and meat are plentiful on all tables. Thereâs singing, thereâs dancing, and, best of all, thereâs you.
Satoruâs been observing you for quite some time now. It wouldnât be fair to call it something akin to a predator stalking his prey; no, you far from being bested by Satoru. More like a bird waiting for all the weaker mates to filter themselves out.
They were like peacocks, the men that came up to you, with the way they flared their artificial grandeur. Each time a young man sat next to you, you remained aloof, giving them nothing but a bunch of polite glances and nods. But it was clear that what ever your responses or questions were, they were nonplussed. Satoru almost felt bad for the fools if it werenât for how they were encroaching on his time to finally talk to you.
It was the opening that a particularly witless and brutish man had given himâthe guy basically leaves the seat next to you, almost in tears from whatever you had said to him, but you only blinked as Satoru approached.
Satoru slid into the recently vacated seat beside you with the grace of a man who had never been denied anything in his life. He draped an arm over the back of his chair, all effortless ease, as if he had been waiting for this moment all night.
"Whatever you said to him, Iâd like to hear it," he mused, his lips quirking in amusement. "Though I do hope you go a little easier on meâIâm rather sensitive, you see."
Your gaze flickered to him, unimpressed, though there was something almost imperceptible in your eyesâmild intrigue, perhaps.
"If you are so easily wounded, Your Majesty, then I fear you are not prepared for a Spartan womanâs words."
His grin widened. "Oh, but I live for danger."
You hummed, noncommittal, before returning your attention to the food before you. Satoru, however, found himself transfixed by the way you reached for a slice of fruit, your fingers delicate yet decisive as you brought it to your lips. You took a slow, deliberate bite, and for the first time in his life, Satoru forgot how to speak.
It was absurd, really. He had seen beautiful women eat beforeâHelen herself had a practiced elegance to itâbut there was something about you. Something about the unthinking ease with which you did it, how your lips parted just slightly before closing around the fruit, how you chewed with quiet, effortless grace, unbothered by the weight of hungry gazes that lingered on you.
For a man who had always been surrounded by beauty, who had spent his life sated and indulged, it was utterly unfair that something so simple could leave him spellbound.
Perhaps the gods were toying with him.
"Youâve been staring for quite some time," you remarked, snapping him out of his reverie.
Satoru exhaled a laugh, recovering with impressive speed. "Can you blame me? Iâm simply trying to unravel the mystery of how you managed to make that poor soul flee in tears. Iâd rather not suffer the same fate."
"Then I suggest you leave now, Your Majesty."
"Not a chance."
You sighed, though there was the ghost of amusement at the corner of your lips. "Persistent, arenât you?"
Satoru grinned. "And yet, here you are, still talking to me."
He watched as you reached for another piece of fruit, this time slower, as if testing him, watching to see if he would stare again. He nearly laughedâbecause, of course, he did.
"You truly are hopeless," you muttered, shaking your head.
"Ah, but at least I am entertaining," he countered. "And I do believe Iâve managed what those other poor fools could notâIâve kept your attention."
You opened your mouth to retort, but he was faster. "Go on, you can admit it," he teased. "I make for much better company than them, donât I?"
For a moment, you merely regarded him, expression unreadable. Then, to his absolute delight, a soft laugh escaped your lips.
It was small, barely more than an exhale, but it was real.
And gods, it was beautiful.
Satoru leaned in slightly, drinking in the sight of you as if committing it to memory.
"See?" he murmured, triumphant. "I told you Iâm quite good at this."
Your amusement lingered, but you shook your head as if in exasperation. "If you say so."
He did not say so. He knew so.
Because despite all the reasons he had come to Sparta, despite all the men who had gathered to win Helenâs hand, Satoru had found himself drawn to you instead.
And he had no intention of stopping now.
But before he could get another word in, a horn sounds, and you nod to him, somewhat apologetically. âThat is my call.â
Before he can ask, you head, skirts fluttering behind you as you move to join a growing group of young ladies in the middle. Itâs clear the gathering has captured the interest of most of the men that were previously dining.Â
You make your way down to the middle, where you arrive at your positionâitâs the one youâve occupied every year. This dance is a show of grace and lineage, a chance for the noblemen to watch and admire, to see which girl carries herself with the most poise, the most elegance, the most effortless charm.
In Gojoâs eyes, itâs easy to determine who that is.
You take your place among your cousins, hands joining as the musicians begin their melody. It is a lighthearted dance, nothing too intricate, nothing that demands much more than the ability to move in time with the others. Your skirts flutter with each step, the long strands of your braid swaying as you turn.
Itâs a girlish, lighthearted dance youâve done since you were little. You and your younger cousins giggle as you go through the motions, reveling in the attentions of the spectators that witness the lovely display with amusement and pure, wholesome adoration.
That is, until you register a special set of eyes on you.
In a specific turn along to the strum of the lyre, you turn gracefullyâa move that orients you towards Gojoâs direction. When you finally see his face and notice his presence, itâs like youâre kicked in the chest in a spar with Helen, with the way your breath leaves you.
His eyes are dark, enraptured on you, and only you. Heat creeps up your neck as you move your hands as youâre oddly flustered. His gaze is admiring and is respectful, but the intensity of itâlike longing that is toeing the line between lust and pure yearningâmakes your heart quicken in a way that you rue your accursed organ, for it to beat so traitorously. When he notices that youâre staring back at him, his jawâwhich was clenchedâloosens in a smile, but the smile isnât innocent. It spells out a promiseâone unspoken, one that curls at the edges of his lips like a secret meant for you alone. It is the kind of smile that men wear when they know something you donât, when they have already decided on something long before youâve even had the chance to argue.
It is sharp. Focused.
It traces the curve of your waist, the sway of your hips, the way your arms extend with each graceful movement.
It darkens.
Heat spreads up your neck before you can help it. The flickering torches of the hall must be to blame, or perhaps the wine in your belly, but you feel warm, too warm, and it is absurd.
Why should you care where Gojo of Ithacaâs eyes linger?
His smirk grows, and it is cocky. Infuriating, even. You snap your head away before he can see how your face burns, resuming your dance with the others, willing yourself to shake off the foolishness that has settled in your bones.
But even as you turn, even as the skirts of your dress flare and the room around you continues its celebration, you feel itâ
His eyes.
Still watching.
âAthena, I swear to you that I need her. She is my future wife!â Gojo insists, stomping his feet as he trails the goddess as if he were a child. It reminded the goddess of wisdom of when she first met himâwhen he had taken down the magic boar she had let loose, showing him of having intellect worthy of being mentored by her.Â
But Athena had meant to be a mentor to a warrior of the mindânot this lovesick, pathetic fool in front of her, like a dog whining for food. Athena sighed exasperatedly as another animal she was hunting runs away from Gojoâs sheer loudness. âEnough!â she snaps, but not unkindly. âWho is this princess you speak of, and what kind of spell has she cast on you to become this much of a fool?â
Gojo ignores any insults directed towards him, and instead adorns a bright smile at the mention of you. âShe is the cousin of Helen of Sparta, and the daughter of Icariusââ
Gojo is interrupted by a snort. âThe same one that swore to never marry his daughter off?â
This gives Gojo a reason to pause. He had not known this fact. âSo, how do you propose Iââ
Much to his chagrin, the w goddess is already a few steps ahead. âTo waste my time on strategy to secure a woman, Gojo, is quite preposterous.
But if you must insist on my counsel, then you shall earn it," Athena declares, turning on her heel to face him fully. Her gaze, sharp as a well-honed blade, sweeps over him, as if assessing whether he is truly worth the effort. "Icarius is a man of reason before all else. He values intellect, discipline, and above all, loyalty. If you wish to stand a chance, you must prove to me two things: one, that she is a wise woman worth of being sought after, and, two, you must prove that you are not merely another suitor blinded by beauty."
Gojo grins, clearly pushing his luck. "So you will help me?"
Athena exhales, the very picture of divine suffering. "I will not gift you the answer, but I will grant you the means to find it yourself."
"Which is just a long-winded way of saying you will help me." He nods sagely, as if he has unraveled the mysteries of Olympus itself.
Athena rubs her temple. "I should have let the boar trample you."
Gojo only laughs, stepping in line beside her as they weave through the woods. His mind is already turning, piecing together what little he knows of Icarius, of you, and of what he must do to win. Because one thing is certainâhe will win.
Icarius may have sworn never to wed you off, but Gojo Satoru has never been one to abide by the rules.
You do not want to be here.
All you simply wanted was time in your sanctuary, your olive tree. It remained hidden in the royal gardens, so itâs a wonder that Gojo of Ithaca had found you. Of course, you would have to be a fool to not admit that these suitorsâ wit paled in comparison to that white-haired young king. Such as this one, for example.
âMy lady, I could not help but notice your fair disposition when I looked upon you,â the suitor grins, his teeth bared like a dog catching scent of a meal. It is not a pleasant expression. You do not react, save for clutching your weaving tighter to your chest. He steps closer, and you take measured care not to recoil, though the instinct is strong. âMay you grant me your nameââ
âI would have to apologize,â you cut him, already turning away. âMy father does notââ
Youâre stopped by a harsh grip on your wrist, and you wrench your gaze back to the suitor in shock.Â
"You wound me, my lady," the man says, still smiling as if this was amusing. As if he had power over you. Physical power, you suppose, but clearly this man was lacking in intellect, to not have noticed his presence. "You have been so cold to me, and Iâ"
He does not notice the shadow behind him.
âAh,â a voice interjects, smooth, easy. âThatâs no way to hold a ladyâs hand, is it?â
The grip on your wrist slackens, but another takes its placeâlight, barely a touch.
Gojo.
The suitorâs face twists in confusion, but it quickly shifts to pain as Gojo applies the smallest pressure to his wrist.
âYouââ
âShe said no,â Gojo interrupts breezily. âAnd Iâd hate to make a scene, so do us all a favor and leave before I decide to break something, yeah?â
With an effortless flick of his hand, the suitor stumbles back, shaking out his wrist as if burned.
Gojo does not spare him another glance. His attention is on you.
âAre you alright?â His voice is softer now, no teasing lilt, no easy arrogance.
You hesitate, unsettled.
âI was handling it,â you say, though it does not come out as firm as you would like.
Gojo only hums, something that sounds like, I know you could, but youâre distracted by his eyes drifting down to your wrist, where a faint mark has already begun to bloom.
His gaze darkens, but you hurry to assure him. âIâll bandage this, itâs not a big woundââ
He interrupts you. âNo need,â gently holds your shoulder, as if imploring you to follow him into the direction heâs started to walk, âIâll do it myself.â
âThatâs notââ
âLook.â He shoots you a look, but it is not unkind nor patronizing. You realize belatedly that it has set your heart aflutter. âI trust that you know how to bandage your wound. But I have had countless like it, so you are with a skilled master in healing. And who knows which suitors may find you on your journey to the physician?
You purse your lips, biting back a retort but failing. âAnd arenât you one of the said suitors?â
His lips pull back in an amused smile, and you notice his hand is still resting lightly on your shoulder. âI think we both know Iâm different.â You bite back a smile.
âOh, really?â you remark dryly, but the look in your eyes is anything but. âAnd how did Your Majesty acquire the title of being different?â
His thumb brushes, just barely, against the fabric of your sleeve before he withdraws his hand entirely, as if sensing that heâs lingered too long. But his smirk remains, insufferable as ever.
âFor one, I donât make a habit of forcing myself upon unwilling women,â Gojo remarks, a pointed edge to his otherwise careless tone. âAnd for anotherâŠâ He tilts his head, considering you. âI daresay I might be infatuated in a way theyâor youâcouldnât comprehend.â
Your breath catches, but you recover quickly, huffing as you turn away. âAll these sweet nothings. Helen will love you.â
Gojo chuckles, stepping ahead of you as he leads the way. âYet she is not the one I am after.â
You pause. Soak in his words. Outwardly, you roll your eyes and follow him for you were at a lack of words, but inside Poseidonâs storm rages inside you at his words, creating a ferocious whirlpool of conflicting feelings.
His strides are long and easy, as if he belongs wherever he walks, and yet, he slows his pace just enough for you to keep up. The gesture is not lost on you.
The physicianâs chamber is quiet when you arrive, save for the distant chatter of servants outside. Gojo does not call for assistance. He merely gestures for you to sit, pulling out a small cloth and a bowl of water, his movements easy and practiced.
âYouâve done this before,â you murmur as he kneels before you, pressing the damp cloth against your wrist.
His smile is unreadable. âI am a warrior, am I not?â
The cold seeps into your skin, making you shiver. Gojo notices. His touch, for all his bravado, is unbearably gentle. You do not know what to make of it.
âYouâll bruise,â he says softly, fingers skimming over the faint marks. âDoes it hurt?â
You swallow. âNo.â
A lie.
Gojoâs gaze flickers up to yours, and for the first time, there is no teasing in his expressionâonly something quiet and knowing, something that makes your heart betray you in its weakness.
For a moment, you both fall into a silence, and, to avoid his gaze, you go back to clutching at your hand and staring at it, as if thereâs something really intriguing about it. Then, he speaks up. âWant to play?â
You bring your gaze back to him, caught off guard. âWhat?â
He cocks his head in a direction to which you face, and there you see it: a game board. One to play petteia.Â
You turn back at him, blinking. âYou play petteia?â
Gojo grins, stretching out with a lazy ease that only makes you more suspicious. As if he has ulterior motives to this. âWhat, surprised? Strategy games are a warriorâs pastime.â
You squint him. That line of reasoning was rather true, you suppose. Something told youâsomething being the way he convinced Helenâs father so easily, how he always seemed three, no, six steps aheadâthat he was no normal warrior, no normal brute. Huffing, you remark offhandedly, âI suppose a true warrior does sharpen his mind as well as his sword. Itâs a pity that youâll be losing today. To me.â
His smile deepens, and it makes you notice small indents in his cheeks as a result, and the way thereâs a rosy pink hue on his cheeks, as if heâs excited to see what you can do. âThen by all means, put me to shame.â
You settle onto the floor, determined, as he arranges the pieces between you. The rules are simple enoughâcapture your opponentâs pieces by flanking them on either sideâbut the way Gojo moves is anything but. He plays with an insufferable sort of confidence, shifting his pieces with flicks of his fingers, as if the game is already his to win.
Until it isnât, obviously.
He frowns when the click of stone dropped onto the board sounds. Youâve cut off his advancing soldier, trapping it neatly between two of your own.
âHuh,â he muses, tapping his chin. He stares at the board, mind no doubt going at a speed unfathomable to most. His eyes flick rapidly, as if assessing the position of all the stone and calculating all the possible moves and permutations that can salvage him out of the situation youâve created for him. You maintain your poker face, but inside, you want to smile. You had calculated those said combinations a few steps ago, and itâd be really hard to get out of this. Then, comes out a âThat was⊠unexpected.â
You smile sweetly. âWhatâs wrong? Did the great King of Ithaca not anticipate that?â
Gojo exhales, dragging a hand through his hair while huffing out a laught. âYouâre quite ruthless, arenât you?â
âIâm practical,â you correct, claiming another of his pieces. âAnd good at this game.â
Gojo squints at the board, as if trying to decipher where exactly he went wrong. âYou do know youâre supposed to let me win, right? My pride is fragile.â
âI wasnât aware kings had fragile pride.â
âYou wound me, my lady.â He presses a hand to his chest, but his movements are distracted as he moves another pieceâonly for you to immediately trap it.
His head snaps up. âWaitââ
You make your final move, effortlessly cornering his last few soldiers.
Silence.
Gojo blinks at the board.
You clear your throat. âDo you need a moment to process this?â
Slowly, he leans back, shaking his head with something close to awe. âYou know, I was planning to go easy on you, but I donât think that would have helped.â
You grin, triumphant. âIâll take that as an admission of defeat.â
Gojo exhales through his nose, then tilts his head at you, a glint of something unreadable in his eyes.
âYouâre dangerous,â he says, and youâre not quite sure if itâs a compliment or a warning.
âMaybe to an overconfident king who underestimates his opponent.â
That urges out a laugh from him, and he shakes his head. âTrust me, I was not underestimating you. It seemed that I had overestimated myself.â
Before you can respond, Gojo leans forward, propping his chin on his hand as he watches you with something unsettlingly thoughtful.
You donât trust that look.
âWhat?â you ask warily.
He hums. âJust thinking.â
âThatâs a dangerous pastime for you.â
Gojo presses a hand over his chest, as if wounded. âCruel. After I iced your wrist and let you absolutely demolish me at petteia, this is the thanks I get?â
âYou act as if I owe you something.â
His smirk returns, slow and smug. âWell, since you mention itâŠâ
You narrow your eyes. âNo.â
âYou didnât even hear me out.â
âI know you well enough to predict whatever absurd request youâre about to make.â
Gojo lets out a dramatic sigh, tilting his head back. âAnd here I was, about to propose something completely reasonable. A fair exchange.â
You arch a brow. âFair?â
He nods, all feigned seriousness. âSee, I let you win.â
âYou most certainly did not.â
âAnd I helped with your wrist.â
Your lips press into a line. âWhich you did of your own volition.â
Gojo ignores this. âSo, as a completely justified request, I think you should let me meet you in the royal gardens.â
You blink. His words hang in the air between you, a casual proposition that somehow carries more weight than it should.
âThe gardens?â
He nods. âBy the olive tree at sunset. The one where we met.â
âWhy?â
Groaning, he lounges back, pushing his feet out while doing the motion. It makes his long legs come closer to where yours are opposite from him, so much that you can feel their heat. Not direct contact, but there. âHave I not made my advances clear by now?â He moves to a sitting position, a more serious look in his eyes as he earnestly looks at you, but you find it hardâdespite your usual dry disposition towards suitorsâto maintain eye contact, so you opt to look at your hands instead as his next words strike blows to your treacherous heart.
 âYour Highness, I am here for you. You are far wittier than meâI have things to learn from you. You have bewitched me, for I did not know it was possible for a lady to consume my every waking thoughts in such a violent way as you have. You may think me a stranger, and you may think me one of the many foolish suitors here for Miss Helenâs hand, but I will make you fall in love with me. I will show you that despite my pride, I will be a kind and gentle husband.â He exhales, as if steadying himself, but his eyes remain fixed on you. There is no jest in them, no trace of the arrogance he so often wears like armor. Only something raw.
âAnd I will absolutely not leave this city until you come back to me in my kingdom as the Queen of Ithaca. It may require god-like skill to convince your father to marry meâbut I am nothing if not persistent.â
Before you can even begin to form a responseâbefore you can push past the breath lodged in your throat, the furious pounding in your chestâthereâs a voice.
"There you are!"
Helen.
You turn just as she strides toward you, golden as ever, a vision of effortless beauty. She doesnât seem to have heard a word of what was just spoken, too preoccupied with her own delight at having found you.
"Iâve been looking everywhere," she sighs, linking her arm through yours before glancing at Gojo, who, for once, remains uncharacteristically silent. Her eyes flick between the two of you, and then she hums. "I hope I wasnât interrupting anything?"
Gojo recovers faster than you do. "Not at all, Your Highness," he says smoothly, a practiced smile slipping into place. "I was simply getting to know your cousin better."
Helen gives him a flirtatious smile, but nevertheless turns to you, frowning. âAnd why are you at the physicianâs?â
You feel Gojoâs eyes follow your movements as you shake your head and rise, walking towards Helen. âAn unruly suitor. It was a light bruise, it is not a great matterââ
âA bruise?!â
âCome with me,â you hissed, waving her along so she did not question further. It seemed that the room was very warm, for you felt a heat creep up your neck the longer Gojoâs eyes unequivocally stayed on you.Â
Helen blinked, at a loss for words, no doubt pondering why you both were leaving Gojoâs presence so readily. âBut His Majestyââ
âCousin,â you snapped, âdid you not have a reason to be looking for me?â
Helen blinks, momentarily distracted. Then, as if something suddenly occurs to her, she brightens.
âOh! Yes, Father wanted to see you.â
You exhale, relievedâonly for it to be short-lived, because she doesnât move.
She remains rooted in place, glancing back at Gojo with a look that is far too amused for your liking. The flirtatious smile returns, softer now, more intrigued.
âBut surely,â she muses, tilting her head, âyou wouldnât mind if I stayed a moment longer? Itâs not often one meets a man as charming as His Majesty of Ithaca.â
You narrow your eyes. âHelen.â
âWhat?â she says, all innocence. âWeâre simply talking.â
You glance at Gojo, expecting him to look insufferably pleased, but instead, heâs watching you. Not Helen. You tear your gaze away.
Itâs only once the two of you are walking through the halls, out of earshot, that Helen sighs, linking your arms again.
âHeâs quite something, isnât he?â she murmurs.
You keep your eyes ahead. âPerhaps. A bit arrogant, though.â
âHeâs clever,â she corrects, then gives you a knowing look. âAnd you like him.â
You scoff, though the heat on your skin betrays you. âI do not.â
Helen only laughs, shaking her head. âDearest cousin,â she sighs, âI have seen you endure the most persistent suitors with all the warmth of an ice-cold river. And yet, here you are, playing petteia with him, letting him tend to your wounds.â
You do not have an answer to that.
And Helen does not press further. She only smiles wistfully to herself, as if she already knows how this story will end.
âŠ
The halls are silent at this hour, save for the whisper of your steps against the cool stone. You keep to the shadows, careful, quiet. If anyone were to see you like thisâwrapped in a cloak, a weaver in hand, slipping through the corridors like a thief in the nightâthere would be whispers by morning.
But then again, what whispers have ever concerned you?
The thought does not comfort you as much as it should.
Your grip tightens around the weaver, its familiar weight grounding. You brought it with you on the off chance that Gojo, like most men, proves unreliable. You have no reason to believe he will come; his feelings for you could be temporary lust, a second option in case his primary oneâHelenâfails. No reason to have entertained his invitation at all. And yet, you go.
You cannot say why.
A foolish impulse, perhaps. Or simple curiosity. Or maybeâ
You push the thought away, focusing instead on the memory that surfaces unbidden.
A conversation with your father, just today while you dined.
You had spoken of Helenâs upcoming wedding of the foreign princes and warriors who sought her hand, of the future that awaited her.
Your father had frowned, the lines of his face deepening. âIt is dangerous,â he had said, quiet but firm. âTo entrust my daughter to a man who cannot ensure her well-being.â
You had smiled then, easy and unbothered, as if his words did not touch something in you. âIt is not you he must convince.â
He had looked at you for a long moment, something unreadable in his gaze, but ended up remarking offhandedly, as if reminding you. âI do not want you to go far from me.â
And you, still smiling, had said nothing at all.
Now, in the solitude of the night, you are no longer smiling.
You know your fatherâs concern is not unfounded. It is not simply Helenâs future that weighs on himâit is yours.
But it is a strange thing, the way his words linger, how they press against you, heavy and quiet. Not as a warning. Not as a burden. But as something else. Something you cannot yet name.
You reach the courtyard, the olive tree standing tall against the night sky behind a series of trees. You exhale, slow and steady, before walking to reach it, weaver in hand.
If he comes, he comes.
And if notâ
Well. You were never the kind to wait idly for a man.
But before you could go on your endless mental tirade of how despicable the male species were, you heard a voice. Gojoâs voice in particular.
Walking closer and closerâto where your olive tree was but not where you were visible, trees providing coverageâyou noticed him talking to someone in a hushed, yet excited tone. You use the window of sight allowed by the gap between the treesâ leaves to see him, standing with an owl on his forearm. Itâs turned to him, as if paying attention, although exasperatedly, to him while he stands tall as ever, his foot tapping impatiently against the grass.
You hesitate, watching as the owl blinks at him, as if listening, considering his words.
And then it notices you. Its, well, owlish eyes are wide as they lock in on your figure.
With a quiet rustle of feathers, it takes flight, disappearing into the night.
Gojo turns, following its path before his gaze lands on you.
âYou scared my friend away,â he says, as if this is the most natural thing in the world.
You blink at him. âYou were talking to an owl.â
He shrugs, as if this too is perfectly reasonable. âSheâs a good listener. A little judgmental, though.â
You give him a look, unimpressed. âI see youâve finally found an audience that suits you.â
His lips curve into a slow smile. âAnd yet, here you are.â
You huff, settling onto one of the smooth stones beneath the tree. âI didnât come for your company.â You hold up the weaver in your hands, as if that alone is proof of your intentions. âI came to pass the time.â
âAh,â he drawls, stepping closer, hands slipping into the folds of his cloak. âAnd yet, youâre talking to me instead.â
You narrow your eyes at him, but he only grins, triumphant.
âTell me,â he muses, dropping down beside you. âWere you hopingâor predicting, with that fast mind of yoursâI wouldnât come?â
You donât answer right away, fingers idly threading the weaver. The night air is cool, the scent of olives and earth thick around you.
âWould it have mattered?â you ask at last, voice light, careless.
Gojo watches you, and for a moment, he does not answer either.
Then, quietly, as if confessing something neither of you are ready to name, he says, âYes.â
You inhale slowly, fingers stilling on the weaver as his answer settles between you.
Yes.
It wasnât spoken in jest, nor with the easy arrogance he so often wielded. Instead, it was quieter, more certainâlike an unshakable truth, unburdened by expectation.
You donât know what to make of it.
You cast him a glance from the corner of your eye. Heâs sitting close but not too close, his long legs stretched out before him, arms resting lazily over his knees. His usual grin is absent, replaced by something unreadable, something you cannot name.
The weight of his gaze is different now. Not teasing, not searching for amusementâbut waiting.
You look away first.
Your fingers resume their slow, practiced work, weaving delicate patterns into the fabric, though your thoughts are anything but orderly.
âWhy are you here?â you ask, voice softer than you intend.
A beat passes before he answers.
âBecause you are.â
You swallow.
He leans back onto his hands, tilting his head toward the night sky, moonlight catching in the pale strands of his hair. It makes him look otherworldly, like a figure carved from mythâtoo beautiful, too untouchable.
âIâm not Helen,â you say after a moment, unsure why the words leave your lips. âYou have nothing to gain from this.â
Gojo exhales, a quiet sound, but when he looks at you again, there is something almost amused in his expressionâtouched with something softer, something more patient.
âDo you think I speak to owls for political gain?â
You huff, trying to ignore the warmth threatening to creep up your neck. âI think you do most things for your own amusement.â
He hums, as if considering that. âYou wound me.â
âI doubt that,â you mutter, eyes fixed on your work.
And yetâhis fingers twitch where they rest against the stone. Itâs small, barely noticeable, but your eyes catch it, and you wonder.
Does he want to reach for you?
The thought unsettles you more than it should.
He exhales again, then shifts, leaning forward to rest his arms on his knees, expression thoughtful. âYou know,â he muses, âI had a whole speech planned.â
You raise a brow. âOh?â
âSomething about how I was drawn to you the way sailors are drawn to sirens. That you, unlike any other, have made me question things I thought I knew.â He looks down at his knees, lips pulling in a mischievous smile. âBut with you, I doubt a night of spilling sweet nothings or perhapsâŠother things would have swayed you.â
Your fingers still.
âBut I think Iâve changed my mind,â he continues, tilting his head. âI think Iâd rather just talk to you.â
You stare at him, caught somewhere between wariness and something dangerously close to wonder.
And then, before you can stop yourself, you ask, âWhat would you have said next?â
His lips twitch, and for the first time tonight, there is mischief in his gaze again. âWouldnât you like to know?â
You roll your eyes, but the moment has shifted, lighter now, though something unnamed still lingers beneath it.
âKeep your secrets, then,â you mutter, returning to your weaving.
âYou wound me,â Gojo says again, pressing a hand to his chest as if truly affronted. âHere I am, spilling my heart, and you deny me even a scrap of sentiment.â
You let out a quiet scoff, keeping your focus on your weaving. âPerhaps if your words werenât so dramatic, Iâd be inclined to believe them.â
Gojo gasps. âDramatic?â He leans closer, an almost boyish grin tugging at his lips. âMy lady, I am nothing if not a man of sincerity.â
âOh? So that speech about sirens wasnât an embellishment?â
âNot at all.â He sighs, as if suffering under some great burden. âI wake in the morning thinking of you, I lay my head at night wondering if youâve thought of me at all. Itâs agony, truly.â
You roll your eyes, but your lips betray you, twitching into something dangerously close to a smile. âThat sounds more like a malady than love.â
âAh, but love is a sickness, is it not?â He exhales dramatically. âAnd you, my lady, have made a very ill man of me.â
Despite yourself, a laugh escapesâlight, unguarded, like something slipping past your defenses before you can catch it.
And thenâsilence.
You glance at him, and find him already watching you.
His usual mischief is gone, replaced by something softer, something wholly unprepared. His breath is caught somewhere between his ribs, his lips slightly parted as if the sight of your laughter has stolen the air from him.
And thenâ
A blush, unmistakable even in the moonlight.
Your heart stutters.
Oh.
For the first time, you allow yourself to study him properly. The sharp angles of his jaw, the elegant bridge of his nose, the vivid eyes that hold yours so intently.
He is very handsome.
The thought settles somewhere unexpected, like an admission youâve been avoiding.
Before you can dwell on it, something light catches against your shoulderâa drifting leaf, caught in the folds of your garment.
Gojo moves before you can react.
His fingers brush against the fabric near your collarbone, and then linger, featherlight and warm, as he pulls the leaf free. The moment stretchesâlonger than it should, charged with something unspeakable.
You feel his breath before you see him move, close enough now that the space between you is barely a whisper.
His hand, now free of its task, hesitatesâbefore it trails downward, catching yours in his grasp.
He doesnât say anything, doesnât try to fill the moment with jest. His thumb traces the back of your hand, slow and absentminded, as if memorizing the shape of you.
Your own breath falters.
His breath is warm in the cool night air, his proximity setting something taut beneath your ribs. You are no stranger to flirtation, nor to men who think they can win you with pretty words, but GojoâGojo is different.
Perhaps itâs the way he looks at you now, his usual mischief tempered by something quieter. Or perhaps itâs the fact that, despite his arrogance, despite his clever tongue and tireless persistence, he does not presume to take.
He waits.
A dangerous thing, because it gives you time to notice the way his fingers twitch slightly against the fabric of your sleeve, the way his lips part as if tasting the words before speaking them.
âYouâre staring,â he murmurs, tilting his head.
You arch a brow, feigning indifference despite the heat pooling low in your stomach. âAm I?â
His lips curve. âShould I be flattered?â
You hum, as if considering it. âIâm only making observations.â
âOh?â He steps just a fraction closer, his voice dipping. âAnd what have you observed, my lady?â
âThat you blush quite easily,â you say smoothly, pleased when the faint flush creeps further up his neck. âThat despite your grand declarations, you are, in fact, a little shy.â
Gojo lets out a quiet laugh, shaking his head. âShy? My lady, you wound me.â
âDo I?â You tilt your chin up slightly, your voice softer now, your hand still in his.
His gaze flickers to your lips.
Your breath catches, just for a moment.
And thenâ
His hand moves, fingers brushing along the curve of your jaw before settling at the nape of your neck, his touch deliberate, careful. A question, waiting for an answer.
You donât grant him wordsâonly the tilt of your head, the briefest lean forward.
It is all the invitation he needs.
He kisses you like a secret, like something to be savoredâslow at first, testing, before he grows bolder. His other hand finds your waist, pulling you just a little closer, and warmth floods through you, seeping into your bones.
The world is silent save for the soft hitch of breath, the faint rustle of fabric as he deepens the kiss, as you allow yourself to press into him, fingers curling into the front of his tunic.
For a man who never stops talking, he is utterly wordless now.Â
When you wake up next in the morning, it is grumpy and tired. Not only were you up late into the night, talking to andâŠkissing Gojo of Ithaca, or rather, Satoru (while you were drunk on each other, he had convinced you to call him Satoru), but the sound of Helenâs squealing made your head ring, putting an unbearable pressure onto them.
âHelen!â you scold her, throwing a spare pillow at her. She easily dodges while you sit up in the bed, half-heartedly rubbing your eyes to wipe the sleep from them. As she throws herself onto the foot of the bed, you notice and hear the pitter patter of rain, casting a somber gray light in your bedroom that is occasionally interrupted by Zeusâs thunder, as if the god was angered or sharing a premonition.Â
Shaking off the thought, you scowl at your cousin, whoâs excitedly prattling about things you still have yet to comprehend. âSlow down! Tell me, without spewing all your words at once.â
âFather gave me permission to marry!â she squealed, jumping on you and hugging you closely. She seemed happy, and you loved your cousin very much, even if you did not show it much. Pure affection permeates your countenance, as she continues. âYou know Iâve always wanted to marry him, with his big arms and all. He could totally manhandle me, but you knoooww I love the ones that can whimperââ
âOh my god,â you groan, covering your ears as if scandalized (youâve said much worse to her), but you grin regardless. âWho is the man that you have chosen?â
âWell,â she laughs, flipping her hair off her shoulder, âGojo of Ithaca is to be my husband, of course.â
Your heart drops to your stomach.
What she says next seems to blur together, not registering because you are shocked, your world almost tilted.
Gojo of Ithaca is to be my husband, of course.
It is then you realize belatedly that Helen seems to be calling out to you, and what you notice the most out of anything on her face is the soft smile she has on her face. One that shows that she is fond of Satoru Gojo, that she has affection for him. And who are youâthe girl whose father doesnât wish for her to marry, one that isnât to be promisedâtake that away from Helen, from him?
Gojo has made it clear that he is not here for Helenâbut wouldnât it be better for him and his kingdom (which you discovered last night that he cares so dearly for) for him to marry Helen? A beautiful queen and a wise king.Â
What a match.
You swallow, throat suddenly dry, but you manage a smileâstrained, weak, but a smile nonetheless.
âHelen,â you begin, voice steady despite the storm brewing inside you, âare you certain?â
âOf course!â she beams, oblivious to the way your fingers tighten in the fabric of your bedding. âFather said Gojo has yet to ask officially, but he will, I know it. And why wouldnât he? A match like thisâitâs fate.â
Fate.
What cruel irony.
You remember last nightâGojoâs hands warm against your skin, his laughter pressed against your lips, the way he had murmured your name like a vow.
And yetâ
You look at Helen, golden and radiant even in the gray morning light, her eyes alight with genuine happiness. You love her, truly, and have since childhood. She has always had her pick of men, but there was something softer in the way she spoke of Satoru just now.
The soft smile, the dreamy lilt to her voice.
She wants this.
And what of you?
Your chest aches, but you laugh, the sound lighter than it should be. âYou sound quite taken with him.â
âI am,â she beams, watching you. âHeâs gorgeous! Charming, too. He told me last night that he thinks my eyes are like the sea at sunrise.â
Your stomach twists and it seems that the panic overwhelms you because all you can manage to do is swallow and nod. âWell,â you look at her with a tight smile, âI congratulate you. Let us discuss this matter further over breakfast.â She smiles and squeezes your upper arm in a goodbye, and the touch of it burns.
You donât ever make it to breakfast that day.
It continues raining that day, and itâs quite appropriate for how youâre feeling. The feeling of melancholy permeates the air around you as you lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Usually, you occupy your time by reading or, more likely, weaving, but you couldnât muster the energy to find interest in that either.
Over a man. What a shame.
You were not one to lie idleâyou were constantly praised as a princess wise beyond her years, and it would be wise, in this situation, to move on. Because the man you had grown feelings for is now engaged to your cousin, or, at least, your cousin intends to be engaged with him. And it would be wiser to let it happen, for Helenâs happiness was your happiness.
Sighing, you stuff your face into your pillow and groan, muffled by the linen fabric of your seats. You then decide grudgingly that if youâre not going to leave your room at all, it may be best to shed yourself of your clothing and lay comfortably in your loincloth and mamillare.
But right as you put your hand on your clothing to strip yourself, you hear a noise.Â
The sound comes againâa sharp, rhythmic tap-tap-tap, just barely audible over the rain. You freeze, fingers still curled around the fabric of your chiton, half-peeled from your shoulder. At first, you think it might be a stray branch scraping against the stone, wind-tossed by the storm. But then it happens againâmore deliberate this time, insistent.
Then, looking at the new objects strewn across your balcony, you realize itâs not branchesâitâs pebbles.
You scowl, tying your garments hastily before moving toward the balcony. The rain is gentler now, more mist than storm, clinging to the stone and silvering the world beyond. You grip the railing and peer downâ
And there he is.
Satoru.
Drenched from head to toe, hair plastered to his forehead, a frown curving his lips as he concentrates on where heâs going to throw his pebble next. His stance seems urgent, but youâre so caught up on the fact that heâs here, as if he isnât supposed to be engaged to Helen or be subjected to whatever congratulatory round of alcohol men bestowed upon each other after securing the most beautiful woman alive.
Your heart stutters.
You pull back immediately, breath catching in your throat. You shouldnât have come to the balcony. You shouldnât be looking at him, shouldnât be thinking about this morning when Helenâs voice still lingers in your earsâGojo of Ithaca is to be my husband, of course.
The pebble strikes the stone beside you.
âI know youâre up there,â Gojo calls, tone indecipherable. âAre you really going to ignore me? After all weâve been through?â
You swallow and your voice trembles when you say, âGo away.â
His resulting laughter sounds betrayed, hurt. âYou donât mean that.â
âSatoru,â and you donât know if itâs a plea or a warning. His head tilts, an anguished look on his face as he closes his eyes and sighs.
âYou wound me,â he huffs out a pained laugh, âAfter all, I run the risk of sickness just to see you and tell you that you believe wrong.â
Something is created in you, then. Something dangerous like hope. âWhat?â
But instead of answering, Gojo crouches, then, in one smooth motion, leaps up, catching the edge of the balcony with ease. You barely have time to react before heâs pulling himself over the railing, stepping onto solid ground with practiced grace.
You stumble back, eyes wide. âI told you not to come up.â
âAnd when have I ever listened?â
Thereâs something in the way he looks at you thenâan intensity you arenât prepared for. The air between you is charged, thick with something unspoken, something far too dangerous to name.
He takes a step forward. âI thought you were smarter than this.â
You blink, startled. âExcuse me?â
Gojo exhales, running a hand through his damp hair. âWhy would you ever think it would be Helen?â
Your stomach lurches. âShe saidââ
âShe assumed,â he corrects, cutting you off. âBut I did not accept her. And you let her do that.â His voice drops lower, softer, a stark contrast to the teasing lilt he so often wields. âDo you truly think so little of me?â
You donât answer. You canât. Because if you do, it will come spilling outâthe hope you tried to bury, the ache that settled in your chest the moment Helen uttered those words.
He moves closer, and you donât stop him.
âPrincess,â you can see his ivory lashes with how close he is, his face covered in raindrops, âfor how wise you are, you seem to not have caught on. What animal is the emblem of Athena?â
Blinking, youâre taken aback by the sudden quizzing. âOwl, what about itââ
Oh.
He sees the realization dawn over your face, and now his tense expression melts into a bittersweet smile. âThe goddess of wisdom has been my companion ever since I was a child, helping me attain whatever I needed the most. Whether it be to gain the knowledge one must have to be worthy of being king, or,â he inhales sharply, vibrant eyes scanning over your face vulnerably, âto gain the power to be able to make the wisest, wittiest, funniest, and most beautiful girl Iâve ever known my queen.
âAfter all, I have my witâadd a little of godlike power, and even I could defeat your father. Respectfully,â he adds quickly. He looks anxious you realize, as if he is about to make a risky move, a big ask. Something heâs been anxious to ask, but scared to. His eyes are still scanning you and his hands twitch at his side as he says, âI hesitate to make this decision, to ask you still after knowing the true nature of my desire for youââ
âAsk me what?â
His eyes are fixed on you, and you think that both of your hearts are beating very, very fast at the moment. âWhat do you think, princess?â
The silence that falls is loaded, heavy, and laden with hesitation. Itâs as if a vice has caged its way through your heart, squeezing and squeezing until all the things youâve left unsaid threaten to spill out. Things like I donât want you to marry my cousin. Or yet, even worse, I want you to marry me. âI would not want to throw out my guesses, Satoru,â you instead opt to say, voice soft. âThings like this must be said directly, to not leave any confusion or misunderstandings.â
His jaw tightens, his breath coming harder as he stares at you, something raw and dangerous flickering in his eyes. âI agree. These things should never be left unsaid.â His voice is low, almost seething, but not with angerâno, this is something else entirely, something desperate. âI love you.â The words are unshakable, like a vow. âAnd I refuse to sit here and pretend my thoughts of you are anything less than ruinous. I dream of you in ways no other man is allowed to, ways that would send me to Hades with a smile on my lips. You have bewitched my soul, stolen the breath from my body, and most dangerouslyâyou have claimed my mind.â His voice drops, softer now, but no less intense. âI do not know how to make you believe me, only that I would sooner challenge the gods themselves than let you slip through my fingers. The world could promise me tens of Helen, but there is only one woman I would ever choose.â His hand finds yours, fingers tightening, as his next words fall like an oath.
âYou.â
Your breath stutters, throat tightening as his fingers tighten over yours. His touch is searing, as if the gods themselves have set him aflame, and yet you cannot pull awayâyou do not want to pull away.
âSatoruââ His name slips from your lips like a prayer, and he swears under his breath, his free hand coming up to cradle your jaw, thumb pressing just below your lips, as if he is fighting the urge to kiss you.
âI would tear down Olympus itself if it meant keeping you,â he murmurs, his breath warm against your cheek. âI would make war with the gods, call upon Athena to guide my spear, and spill the blood of any man foolish enough to think they could take you from me.â His voice is rough, almost a growl, and you swear your knees would give way if not for the way he holds you now, as though letting go would be his ruin.
It is reckless, to let yourself lean into him, to let your fingers curl into the fabric of his damp chiton as though you could anchor yourself to him. But he is an anchorâpulling you into something deep, something dangerous, something you know you will not escape from unscathed.
His nose brushes yours, his lips so close that you feel his every breath, his every hesitation. But you see the war in his eyes, the battle between restraint and desire, and for once, you decide to let yourself be selfish.
So you whisper, âThen prove it.â
And that is all it takes for him to break.
His lips crash against yours, urgent and claiming, as if to kiss you any softer would be to deny himself the air he breathes. He groans as your hands tangle in his hair, your body pressing flush against his, his own hands no longer gentle but gripping, desperate, possessive. His teeth graze your bottom lip before he deepens the kiss, one hand trailing lower, pressing against the curve of your waist, then lower stillâ
Thunder crackles, as you gasp out his name. He pulls you both apart, looking anguished as if heâs fighting the urge to keep touching you, to make you moan out his name. Realizing this, you grab his hands and put them on yourself. âMy love,â you say, tenderly, and you see how his pupils dilate in response, âyou may touch meââ
âAre you sure? For if you say that, I may not be able to stop myself from indulging. Because I will take and take, until you can give me no more.â The way he says it, uncharacteristically serious and brows furrowed, makes you heat up even more, dizzy with lust and your pent up longing for the man.
But your response stays the same, paired with a firm nod. âI am surâmmmph.â
He smothers you with his lips before you can finish, cupping your jaw until his hands start to move downwards. They move, tracing the planes of your body, and they are relentless in their explorationâthey grab you possessively, pushing you closer and closer to him until his hands are below your thighs. Satoru maneuvers you until your legs are straddling his waist so that he can pick you up and carry you to your bed.
After he throws you down like carrying you poses to him as much of a challenge as carrying a light potato sack, he admires youâ-thighs clenched, hair splayed around your head like a halo. The skirt of your clothes has inched its way up, exposing your thighs. âGods, you donât know what you do to me.â
But instead of playing the innocent maiden, you look at him through your lashes, laughing. âSatoru, time is of the essence. Flattery will get you nowhereâyou must show it through your actions.â
You didnât know what saying his nameâand prompting him like thatâdoes to him. He meets your lips in a furious kiss once again, this time hand sneaking up your skirt. He meets the fabric of your loincloth, hooking at its sides and pulling them downwards and downwards, until it is hooked off your ankle (not before Satoru leaves it a trailing kiss there, of course. It is only until Satoruâs eyes hone in whatâs in the middle of legs that you realize that you are bare to him. âSatoru, Iââ
âI must do something,â he instead responds, and you look at him in confusion. Heâs moving down your body as you ask him what he means and if somethingâs wrong.
Youâre interrupted by your gasp as his mouth descends on you, leaving hot, openmouthed kisses directly on your core. His tongue delves inside your lower lips, pleasing the nerves and leaving them singing. He undoes you, leaving your legs feeling like jelly, and the fervor he does it with is nauseatingâas if your nectar is ambrosia itself.Â
Soon enough, with his reverent worshipâand a finger or two added to stretch you out and make you emit embarrassing noises that only encourage him furtherâyou come with a cry of his name. As you roll your hips, riding out your climax, his mouth and head follow and trail your hips, unrelenting in pleasuring you even though youâre overstimulated and left quivering.Â
âIââ you blurted, trying to fill the silence after he had just made you taste colors. âI hate you.â
Satoru faux pouts, biting back a grin. âRude thing to say when I just made youââ
âDonât finish that!â you shriek, swatting his head lightly as he laughs, kissing his way back up your body. In a tone more shy than youâd like, you say in a small voice, âBut I hope weâre not done yet?â
Satoruâs made his way up to your clothed breasts, kissing them tenderly. However, when he hears the question, he stills, looks at you with wide eyes, and he groans, as if surprised by your forwardness. âPrincess, the things you do to me.â
He kneads your ass while he stands up, orienting himself into a position to doâthat. A voice in the back of your head reminds you that youâre not supposed to be doing this before you get married, but your lust is too strong. And, after all, you trust that thereâs no way Satoru wouldnât marry you.
You feel a slight pressure in your nether regions, and you realize that it is Satoruâs cock. His eyes are on you, blown out with lust, as he continues to stroke the length of it while observing your every reaction. âAre you sure you want to do this?â
âYes.â
With your confirmation, his eyes next left your face as he pushed in, moving slowly and gently. He gauged your features for any signs of discomfort or pain as he moved in shallow thrusts, gradually increasing their length. You gasped, his murmurs and sweet nothings coaxing out your whimpers and whines as he bumped a spot inside of you. As he did, fireworks erupted in the back of your mind, leaving you boneless as he got you closer and closer to your climax once again.
For someone who didnât experience carnal desires often, you wonder how youâve gone without this kind of pleasure for so long. Satoru made you feel worshipped, tracing kisses with a love that was almost pious. It doesnât take you long after that to come once more, thrashing in his grip.
Your climax sheathed on his cock unlocks something in him, for he begins to thrust harder and faster, becoming sloppier and sloppier. His voice is by your ear, whining your name continuously. When he finally feels himself climb over and finally orgasm, he breathes out an âAh,â and thrusts himself to completely bottom out while his come fills you up, pooling inside of you.
You both stay interlocked for gods know how long. Until Satoru pipes up, voice still unstable and panting, âBy the way, it went unsaid, but Iâm going to marry you. And you canât say no.â
Your resulting giggle makes him break out in a big smile before he hugs you, wrestling you both to lie side by side in bed.
It goes without saying, but it all goes smoothly according to plan.
When Satoru had played with petteia with you, he had aimed to show Athena your wit. It is no small claim to defeat him, a king associated with Athena, in the game. The following events further made Athena approve of you and give her blessing.Â
So Gojo was already ten steps ahead when he asked your father for your blessing. Your father was furious, of courseâhe did not want to let you go. After much cajoling and agreement to beat your father, a champion runner, in a race to attain your hand, Satoru wiped his brow. The way your father loved you would be scary to him if he didnât love you as intensely as he did now.Â
And of course Satoru won. Athena got her fellow Olympian, Hermes, to rent out his infamous speed. When he wins, Sparta is in an uproar, including your cousin.
âSo, how is he?â Helen asks mischievously. You later found out that day that Helenâs words of marrying Gojo had a purposeâto push you both towards each other, once and for all.Â
âI donât know what you mean,â you turn away, with a hmph. Crossing your arms, you pretend to roll your eyes at the knowing look she had.
âI donât know, cousin,â she giggles, âI heard a couple of voices in your room when I tried to visit you a few nights back. Tell me, does he whimperâ-â
âHelen!âÂ
The day you marry, donning beautiful and regal clothes, Gojo sneaks you away multiple times to kiss you under your veil when no one is looking.
His wedding gift is built by himâon the voyage back to Ithaca, he not only takes you away from Sparta, but the olive tree that you both had met at. He builds the shared marital bed out of the olive tree for his queen with his blood and sweat. It is a symbol of your love, everlasting, and you would daresay that it is the most precious gift anyone has ever given you.
What you give him in return is one fat and giggly baby. Your father grumbles that the child looks too much like his father, but the way he holds the babeâso carefully, so gentlyâbetrays his affection. Helen coos at her little nephew, amused at how utterly soft Satoru has become, how the once-cocky king now spends his days doting on both you and your child, as if he has won the world itself.
And perhaps he has.
After all, Satoru has always been a man of ambition. A man who would scheme, fight, and even defy the gods for what he desires. And yet, as he holds your child in one arm and you in the other, murmuring teasing words against your ear before stealing another kiss, you realize somethingâ
He had never needed Athenaâs wisdom, Hermesâ speed, or any other divine favor to win you.
Because you had already been his, just as he had always been yours.

⧠âșËł cw. fem! reader, heian era, vırgin sukuna, touch starved sukuna, humping, unprotected, premature ejaculation, mdni.
virgin!sukuna who wonât bend knee for no one, fears no one . . is weak for nothing.
nothing except for your touch.
and oh, it irritates him abominably. heâs got a taste of you and heâs addicted. in his royal chambers, he humps his pillow, whetted sharp fangs burying into his lip in utter shame. crimson velvet eyes roll their way into the very backs of his head until he sees ivory white. imagining heâs deep inside of you again, slowly grinding his hips into yours, hearing the melodic sounds of your moans escape from each rough stroke. his heat, he swears to himself as he feels the fabric glue back and forth against his skin. instead of a pillow it should have been your body. âf- fuckkk,â he groans, missing your touch, your skin. you had him whipped, sukuna doesnât get weak for anyone, anyone except you.
he mercilessly grinds his hips into his pillow, a tiny whimper slipping out of his lips before he swears out your name. again, and again, and again,
the moment you return though â heâs a mess. the once feared ruthless king sukuna ryomen thatâs lived for thousands of years was now a whiny mess that couldnât last five seconds without your touch, without your taste. to him, it was sacred. âwoman, i need you,â and his voice for once, it was shaky. you have a smug grin, growing priggish at how clingy you made him and he tchs in annoyance.
âwhatâs the magic word, âkuna?â
itâs a long dead pause, you hear the vexed sigh rip out of his full lungs before he shoots you a glare. ââŠ.. please. i need you to touch me again.â
with his entire broad frame slumped back, he watches with blown wide irises as you align yourself against his cock. already, itâs droplets and droplets of sheeny white pre-cum coating near his tip. itâs like a swirl, the shine glistens near his cockhead and you watch as a bit of his foreskin peels itself back. youâre teasing him, rutting back and forth against just his tip and he hisses in want of more. sukuna was so big, taking one of him was like taking two and youâve never felt more full. your hips rapidly make haste and start to jerk a bit forward and you moan once his fattened tip thrashes against your slit opening.
âmhm,â and then you look down at the demon whoâs still got a cute pout contorting against his pink lips. sharp serrated nails of his gently shovels into your skin, clinging onto your hips tightly. âaw, are you shaking, sukuna?â
âs- shut up,â he gruffs, immediately feeling a lump prod its way into his throat.
you have him at your very mercy. he grunts, red eyes flickering back slowly and gradually as heâs feeling himself stretch you open. your cunt was so invitingâthe feeling of your warmth holding him hostage was purely mouthwatering.
gaping and all, he feels every direct hit against your sopping wet pussy and heâs just hungry for more. your skin sticks against his as you try to shift your weight, rolling your hips back and forth until he growls out a pathetic surrendering whimper. heâs big and thick and you feel every delectable inch ease its way inside of you. fangs of his still continue to gnaw deep at the bottom of his lip, feeling your hips strike forward at a much more briskly pace.âugh, god woman. yâr hips âs gonna make me-â
a single breath gets caught in his throatâ not a lump this time but a single breath, you had him speechless.
a few pink strands of hair that stuck against forehead due to built up perspiration ghosts down his slit brows. âgonna c- cum too quick,â he murmurs, his usual rough tone appearing more shaky. his tone was a lot more vulnerable and weak, only with you.
youâre barely even doing anything. itâs been just a few minutes, just a few minutes of him going inside of your gummy walls and heâs already turning into mush. you run a hand down his buff, scarred shoulder and he merely loses it.
your touch drives him insane, he swallows a nice amount of saliva before his forked tongue lolls out a bit. heâs juddering pitiably underneath you from your sloppy movements. sukuna felt this way for no one, and the audacity for you to just .. make him so lewd, so feral.
thereâs a repetitive ringing in his ears as heâs got ahold of both of your thighs. all tips of his thumbs pierce their ways into your skin and his fat cock twitches from your erotically hypnotic rhythm. each sporadic jolt of your hips makes his head toss back, growl after growl rippling from his husky vocal chords. âyouâre so loud,â you tease, leaning in to kiss his cheek. his eye twitches from your lips making contact against his skin â yet, he doesnât question it. in fact, it only turns him on even more. sukuna craved your touch like he craves a victory after a year long battle. âgonna cum for me, ryo?â
âcurses.. i-â he stammers, adamâs able bobbing within each whiny syllable that spews out of his mouth.
youâve definitely got him whipped, youâve got the king of curses wrapped around your cute little finger. his jaw slowly dangles itself open and a hot breeze of air escapes. his body dramatically jitters from underneath you and you feel a certain familiar spurt shoot its way into your cunt raw. as youâre voluntarily slurping up every part of his fervor, he buries his face into the crook of your neck.
there, your neckâs being met with the keen edges of his animalistic canines pricking against your sweet, candied flesh.
sukunaâs tongue licks against you, making a cute attempt at suppressing his gruff whimpers but itâs to no avail. heâs cumming, and itâs so so much.
heâs seeing red, red and white.
a nice wad of satiny sticky load pours its way into your pussy and heâs just shaking underneath you. his body erupts like a volcano â heâs always so sensitive, desperately craving to cum again and again and again until heâs stuffed so much into your womb.
strong arms hold onto you tight as you just sit there, feeling his seed trickle into the deep soddened parts of your entrance. youâre panting with him, a hand gently stroking near his neat undercut and he groans into your neck. âs- so much, âm gonna die,â he mewls out, and itâs so unlike him to see him like this.
sukuna gingerly bites into your skin as heâs dumping such a goopy load into you. heâs panting heavily like a dog, puffs of air leaving out his throat so swiftly. his dick remains inside of you, clinging onto your walls securely for all itâs worth before he starts to hear the wet, slimy squelches. that was always his favorite part â the part where your pussy decides to talk back. ângh, donât move, princess. stay still- listen to it with me, please.â
you remain as still as a mannequin as his hot parching cumâs continuing to ooze its way into your puckering hole. itâs a lot, emphasize on a lot because when he cums, itâs a literal overflow.
itâs so much that it starts to race down the crevices of your thighs. a fat thumb of his gathers a good amount of it before smearing it over your pussy. with a sluggish sly expression, you cup his face, watching as he naturally lean into your touch. âyou barely lasted a second, baby.â
âshut up, donât forget who i- i amâ oh fuckkk,â
and you start to ride him again, picking up your hips in a manner so ruthlessly sloppy that it gets him whiplash. the moment you start up again, he starts whining and he feels a staticky pulse surge through his weighty cock. with red bloodshot eyes, sukuna eyes you with such intent and not once does his gaze leave. he feels a sudden pang in his heart. but it couldnât be that, or could it.
sukuna looked so pretty like this. underneath you, eyes half-lidded and beads of sweat racing down each side of his forehead. long dark lashes of his flap every few seconds and he jaw tightens, feeling your cunt soak him dry, milking him. his whimpers and whines were so loud, indefinitely echoing through the thin walls of his forbidden chambers.
your hand teasingly wraps around his thick neck and heâs never felt more aroused. sukuna groans with a snarlâmaking a cute attempt at baring a fang at you to seem more intimidating but it only makes him cute. a brief croak coming out of him before he grouses pathetically.
âharder. choke me ân make me cum again.â

ê° đđđâđâđ đđđĄđ ê± . . . a lil sum i thought of randomly. this is related to the dangerously in love couple. <3 visual. visual. visual. wish i had a link for the exact position i have in my head, so hereâs a small example. hopefully i explained them well. :<
part three. <3
ivory sunflowers are imprinted along the frilly apron that hugs your body cutely, the coquette lace floral dress with a baby pink ribbon to create a corset style underneath. the warm scent of strawberry pie baking in the matcha green vintage oven blooms your heart. dusting flour over the counter to roll and mush at the dough youâve created for the chicken pot pies, one of erenâs favorite meals. the sun was fairly hot today, your eyes fixating on the two beautiful tawny cows roaming your farm, their mouths chewing at grass as the wind blows serenely.
you told eren to keep a close eye on them while he was outside, watching your husband stand halfway down the driveway with sweat dripping from his brow as he tinkers with the engine of his polished black 1968 ford f100. heâs been having troubles with it this past week, and constantly handling it became tedious. he expressed his anger a few times now, this truck being his first big purchase for himself and he was having issues only a year later.
his light blue levi jeans and classic wife-beater was streaked with grease, clinging to his muscular thighs as he crouches low, peering intently at the mechanical innards. every so often, he wipes his hands on a rag before reaching for another tool, his calloused fingers moving with practiced ease. the sun casts a glow on the definition of his biceps as he lifts and maneuvers heavy parts. angelic brown strands held back by a black cap turned backwards.
youâve been subconsciously humming along to the 70s and 80s rock tunes he has stationed on the radio. donât dream itâs over currently on play. meanwhile, inside the cozy farmhouse kitchen, with the tantalizing aroma of food and your chocolate brown maltipoo who eren named honeybelle sleeps on her bed by the window â although this moment was romantic and peaceful to view, you werenât too happy of a woman.
this was one of the few days he was off from work, and heâs been outside fixing his car since your eyes opened to an empty bedside. itâs nearing nighttime, and youâd spent half your day to your lonesome. shaving your body, doing your skincare routine and deep conditioning your handful of a curly head thatâs currently pinned up away from your soft features. itâs felt like such a long time since the two of you enjoyed a full day together, let alone make love. your ovulation period not making this any easier on you, feeling like a wild animal in desperate heat. the only time you really interacted today was when you brought out a fat honey-turkey club sandwich, knowing he tends to forget to eat sometimes.
brushing the crust you created for the pot pie after layering them in crisscross patterns with butter, your mind wanders off, daydreaming as the sun begins to set and the sky blooms into color palettes of saffron and coral. the air outside turns warmer, and you study your husband once more, watching the ball in his throat shift as he chugs on a pitcher of water, droplets hitting his chest. his briefs are peaking out from his jeans, feet in his black timberlands per usual. his arms have veins streaming from the middle of his forearm to his big, dirty hands. silver wedding band on his right.
those slanted viridescent eyes of his catch your stare as he glares at you over the pitcher, swallowing and giving you a movie star smile with pearly whites. you smile faintly, returning the gesture. your heart pounds rapidly in your chest, shifting in your spot as you realize youâre biting your lips and almost riding the air. your blood is thrumming throughout your body, needing him to come inside right now.
the chicken pot pies are done in thirty minutes, each crust perfectly golden brown. and within that time, heâs still outside messing with his truck. you wanted to be understanding that he needed his truck in order to head to work tomorrow to further provide for you and the home as he does, but you canât help that feeling of abandonment in your chest. you really didnât want to cause an argument, but this was becoming irritating.
removing your apron, you slip on your outside shoes to head towards the garage where he resides, being faced with his broad back and gruff noises of agitation.
âbaby.â
âyes, sweetie,â he replies quickly, groaning as he twists the wrench.
âdinnerâs done. youâve been out here all day. please come inside,â you pout, going to wrap your arms around his waist, laying your cheek on the column of his back.
eren removes his cap, scratching at his head before smoothing his hair back and placing it on again. âmhm, baby, i know. gimme like ânother hour, i just gotta connect the fuckinâ valve springs to the camshaft.â
âi thought it was just overheated?â
âyeah it was, the water pump wasnât sending coolant through. the crankshaft wasnât movinâ, ân the radiator cap had too much pressure so the spring in the cap compressed ân flew over in the coolant reservoir. glad i ran to the auto shop beforehand.â
heâs saying a lot of shit you donât understand if being frank. sighing, you let go of him, knowing he was real intricate with his truck so he definitely wasnât going to be done in an hour. he stops what heâs doing to turn and face you, observing your expression.
âwhat i say about that, mama. huh?â eren sighs, leaning down to kiss your forehead. âdonât be givinâ me that face. iâm tryinâ my best right now. swear ima be in, iâll make it forty-five instead.â
âthatâs not the point,â you roll your eyes, crossing your arms. âfuck the dinner, i want you to be with me. youâve been out here since eleven in the morning. not once have you come inside the house ân checked on me.â
his jaw clenches, your tone expected but not what he wanted to hear right now. âi ainât tryna argue with you.â
âthen donât, help yourself to dinner.â
âê°âĄê±.â
turning with clear attitude, you stroll back into the house, honeybelle barking softly as she follows you around. you feed someone in the house, pouring kibble into her beige bowl before patting her head and watching her scruff down the food. by this point youâd lost your appetite, huffing and puffing in your kitchen as you set the food back into the oven and made your way up the staircase.
to cool yourself down, you decide to run yourself a bath. twisting the gold faucet to fill the clawfoot tub with hot water, crouching on your knees to swish the water around to help form the bubbles. it was fully dark outside now, lighting aromatherapy candles and opening the double vintage windows that overlooked the farm you and eren spent years creating. stars in the sky and clouds camouflaging. undressing yourself, you grab a novel off of the shelf and submerge yourself into the tub, closing your eyes in bliss and leaning your head back against the spa pillow that elevates your neck.
eren manages to take approximately thirty minutes to finish up his project, starting up the truck and test driving it before he sighs in relief to see sheâs back in shape. after parking it back into the garage, whistling at the cows to get them to follow him back into the barn after much needed playtime, heâs finally stepping into the house. honeybelle skips towards eren, sniffing at his ankle and wagging her tail. eren smiles, patting the top of her head.
âwhereâs your mommy, girl. huh?â he coed, scratching under her chin.
his eyes scope the dining area, finding the table set up just for the two with candles that were half burnt, blown out. the homemade sweet tea in a pitcher leaking with condensation, ice cubes melted. the pie you baked was set into a glass cake stand, and the pot pies are settled into the oven under the light. it was definitely clear you were upset with him, groaning and putting a hand on his head. he truly didnât mean to take away this day from you, aware of how much youâve missed him. hours at work are longer since the power plants needed more tending to from low employment.
just last week he had to go out of town and leave you for an entire three days to travel to another refinery. in that time youâd tend to your farm while also helping erenâs father with his. you knew what this lifestyle would mean for your relationship. things around the house including you will be secure, but having him come home exhausted to the point where you rarely spend as much time as youâd like with him was difficult. at most he had two days off a week, but a lot of times theyâd call him in because someone else didnât show up.
youâve suggested countless of times that he should switch locations, but this one provided better benefits and he was close to a promotion that would also guarantee him extra off time. âit just takes time, baby.â heâd constantly tell you. and youâre not one of those wives that complain about every single thing to make her husbands life harder, the two of you rarely even argue, but you do have your moments where youâre too stubborn.
the heavy thud of his boots sounds in the home as he heads up the stairs, softly calling your name to see where you reside. with his hand on his toned stomach under his shirt, he finds you rested in the tub, head turned away as you sleep comfortably. his tall frame leans against the doorframe, watching you with a pout on his face. you look angelic, cloud white bubbles flowing around your body, the jets in the tub keeping them in tact, slowly dissolving. the tankless water heater he installed a while back kept the water warm, making you comfortable enough to drift off to light slumber.
he makes his way closer to you, crouching before you to brush the tendrils of curls dangling in your face. your breath is light, lashes feathering against your cheekbones as he caresses your jaw with his thumb. he bends to pull the plug and drain the tub, not fond of you sleeping in water. you didnât have it too high up, but people drown in tubs a lot more than you think.
you hum gently, eyes opening to see him looming over you, studying him in silence. sitting on his behind, he grabs a pedicure knife to clean under his nails, tattooed arm dangling into the tub and under the running faucet to remove the impurities.
âdonât like you fallinâ asleep in the tub, sweetie. you could drown. this isnât your first time doinâ that,â his brows deepen, grabbing a nail brush and applying some of your cashmere and goat milk soap you currently smelt of with to scrub at his manicured fingernails.
you bring your knees up to your chest, wrapping your arms over your knees. âsorry.â
eren scans your face, eyeing the beauty of your entirety. perfectly white painted toes and matching nails, dark, big curls framing your face, slowly falling from the claw clip on the back of your head. the fullness of your lips with the cupids bow curve of them. soft skin, pretty eyes . . you were all his. such a beautiful wife. so when youâre mad at him, it makes him feel like shit. the way you look at him is different as well. your eyes are dead almost, a scolding glare in them.
âthis day was supposed to be for us, i know,â he breaks the silence. âold shit was being difficult, ân you know i gotta drive far, sweetie. gettinâ ân a crash isnât somethinâ youâd want happeninâ to me, right baby?â
the frown on your face serves how you feel about that. âiâd lose my mind if something bad happened to you.â
â ân iâm not tryna guilt trip you or anything like that. i understand how you feel. i miss you just as much. i think about you all fuckinâ day at work. but, as time passes, eventually iâll be in a better position ân you can have me with you whenever you want. jusâ lemme handle shit, okay?â
his strong hands go to caress your ankle, the silver jewelry shining there, lifting your foot to kiss at the shape of it, eyes low and focusing on you, unable to help the heat that swims within your hips and core.
âi really just needed you so bad today,â the sound of your throat clamping up causes him to go alert. you bow your head, wanting to hide your face as the tears threaten to spill. âitâs so stupid. i spent all that time pampering myself and cooking for us â i just hated being alone, even if you were still here.â
âcâmon, baby. why you cryinâ ? none of that. iâm sorry, truly,â heâs rising up on his knees, kissing at yours.
âmissed you touching me,â you whimper, sniffling and pouting. âmissed your kisses. i miss you.â
ah, so thatâs what it is. he doesnât make any effort to hide the smirk on his face, scoffing lowly while dropping his head. you can be such a brat when youâre horny, and given itâs been about two weeks since heâs last fucked you, he now gets why you begged for him to be with you today. quality time was still needed, but he can tell by the way your body tenses and your lips part to release tiny gasps while he strokes the pads of his fingers across your hips . . that youâre ovulating.
âthatâs all you needinâ, mama? some touches?â
salvia trails down your throat as you swallow, thighs squeezing together out of reflex, throbbing from those damned eyes of his, nodding with hooded lids. âmm hmm. so bad.â
âmm, yeah?â
the butterflies in your stomach swarm as he brings his face closer to yours, his touches on your skin causes you to grind when his mouth suddenly connected with your throat, your jaw widening as you gasp and toss your head back, his mouth sloppily kissing at the right side of your body. lips moving from your collarbone, each sound coming from him emphasized as he sucks at your chest, pulling your areola into his mouth and trailing his tongue down the side of your stomach, down to your hip and the crease between your thigh and waist. every kiss and lick is rough, his groans exaggerated as you moan from every touch.
âooo, fuck. oh my god,â your hips canât stop moving, his tongue gliding back up before his fingers indent into your cheeks, turning your face to his so he could kiss you roughly, sliding his tongue on yours.
eren doesnât kiss you for long, detaching your lips with a lewd slick, both of your lips pouty before heâs arching over the tub and guiding his mouth along the left side of your body, repeating his motion of sucking and licking you. your eyes gloss back, spreading your thighs further apart when he gets closer to your pussy, swallowing your bottom lip inward.
he cocks his head back to lewdly spit over your clit, the string of saliva and the vein on the side of his thick neck making your face heat up. your mouth hangs open as he takes his fingers and slowly spreads it over, grumbling, "want me all over you," before rubbing your clit in smooth circles, groaning at the weak noises you made.
you were so needy, every touch he gives you consuming, a lust and desire looming over you that only he could give you. your hips twitch and hike midair, and your positive you've made your lip bleed by how hard you bit into it, doe eyes hazily watching his face. brows furrowed as he tentatively paced his fingers, repositioning himself so he could tug you down flat in the tub, your knees pressed to your chest as he clutches onto the sides of the tub.
âhold âem there, be good.â
a squeal envelops erenâs ears once he cranes his neck and drops his mouth over the puffy nub, enclosing his lips to kiss at your folds. your pussy is soaked, dripping between your ass cheeks, inner thighs twitching while he licks you up. the cap on his head continues to hold his hair back, his biceps flexing from every noise you make, trying to keep his composure. he wanted to make you feel real good, you deserve it, and heâs missed you.
âbâbabyyy,â a mix between a groan and a whimper flows from you, keeping your legs open and squeezing at your chest hard, slowly rocking your pussy on his face, voice shuddering from the feel of his light stubble on your soft skin.
eren spanks the back of your thigh, dragging his mouth to soothe the feel after with an open mouth followed with more of his tongue. he loved tasting you, clearly. melting on the velvet of his tongue like sugar. his chin is doused by your slickness as he buried his face deep, circling your clit in languid strokes, lower lip dropping to bring it back into his mouth. youâre never embarrassed by how loud you get, knowing youâll be reprimanded if you do keep silent. so a pathetic, drawn out whine fills the space when he removes his mouth.
âfeed it to me,â eren hisses, spanking the back of your thigh again, french kissing either side of your ass. the hungry aggression through his eyes tell you to listen, his body almost entirely inside of the tub to make sure heâs giving you what you need the right way. âcâmon, girl.â
the gruffness in his tone makes you squirm, like heâs just as pent up as you. easing your hips up, you hold your legs fully up so theyâre past your ears, gripping on his arm for balance as you dip your hips so your pussy connects with his face, your face curling up as he spits and slurps, your body trembling.
âmmmahh,â you weakly moan, chest heaving and breath stuttering, his tongue occasionally dipping into your hole to taste that sweeter place, eren grunting and bouncing his head along with your movements, teeth every now and then biting at your inner thighs. âg-gânaâsquirt, f-fuck, nnnngh.â
eren acts on instinct, reaching to grab the back of your neck as your body arches forward to hold you so you wonât hurt yourself, swallowing at your achy bud as you coat his throat in your juices, humming and savoring every ounce. the static of your legs as you sing out your moans makes his dick harder, straining in the confinements of his jeans.
he pulls away, your body flat within the tub as he stands and undoes the leather belt on his waist, ears perking up from the sound of his zipper and then awaits the weighty girth of his dick. blush pink tip and tan with a protruding vein trailing up the underside. you find energy to lift yourself up, clinging to the side of the tub like a mermaid on rocks. reaching for the back of his leg to pull him closer, erenâs brows lowered at the sight of your eyes setting into seductiveness.
your mouth opens instinctively, giving him those big brown irises that has his dick jump in your face. erenâs waist spasm backwards, fingers grasping the coils of your hair to stop you. âno, no. not now. yâknow youâll make me cum too quick.â
âyâknow you canât fuck me till i taste it,â you pout, evidently upset, keeping your lips parted as a need to have it. âjust a taste, daddy. i want it.â
âfuckinâ hell,â eren clenches his jaw, pupils dilating, lowering his jeans and boxers to his thighs to inch his dick to your lips. âyeah, jusâ a lil taste, baby. gimme those pretty lips.â
eren moans when you waste no time intaking half of his dick, tongue licking at the underside and slurping him up, bobbing your head and letting him hit the back of your throat in nasty squelches. his head falls back then to the side as he squeezes his eyes shut, attractive neck showcasing, grunting and slowly thrusting into your throat.
âf-fuck, ê°âĄê±. love this sweet fuckinâ mouth of yours. show me that throat, baby,â two hands go to clutch your neck, eren pulling his dick out, salvia dribbling down your bottom lip. you widen your mouth, angling your face up so he can see your tongue in itâs entirety, the tight ring in the hollow of your esophagus calling him.
âgood girl, take this shit deep,â he whispers painfully, teeth clamped together in a hiss as he lays the heaviness of his dick on your flat tongue, pushing in till his pretty, leaky tip connects with the back of your throat, constricting around him. âa-ahh, yeahh.â
you let him use you as long as he anticipates, eyes drooping low, trying to focus on eye contact with your nose mushed to his happy trail, the scent of the day and his cologne seeped into his skin. you heave when he pulls back entirely, whining and riding the air. heâs so damn masculine it makes you so feminine and submissive.
âone more time, hold it,â bending his back slightly, he slides back into your mouth, gently holding your neck in place to thrust a few times more, deep melodies of grunts and hisses pouring as he furrows his brows and studies how you made his dick wet and shiny, balls slapping against your chin.
with your mouth stretched open, you take him in as deep as he likes, closing your eyes to shut off your brain so you donât choke. eren holds you there, huffing out âooh fuckinâ god, baby.â before smoothing his hand on the side of your face after he withdraws his hips to let you breathe, his own chest knocking from holding his breath.
âlove you,â eren reminds you as he peppers kisses all over your face and you smile, a continuous gesture heâd do every time to make you aware, especially when heâs too rough.
the trance you have on his dick is sickening, following it as he maneuvered around the bathroom, retrieving a towel he spread on the lower part of the tub before entering, not bothering to take off his boots. you giggle as he hovers above you, biting at your nail and shifting your body beneath him so he could slot in. the weight of his cock lays on your stomach, eren grinding to rub along your folds, coaxing your hidden clit to show. eren steadies his figure, knuckles turning white from him grasping either side of the tub and holding himself up by indenting his feet into the towel.
âi fuckinâ need you,â eren growls, biting at your neck before licking and shifting his hips to nudge the tip against your opening, easily sliding in slow.
the warmth fills your face again, abdomen pinching from pain and pleasure, pawing at his slightly dirty wifebeater and hiking it further up his chest you were desperate to touch. the silver chain around his neck sways in your face, squinting your eyes and dropping your jaw when he begins pounding into you with the need he expressed. the sluice of your pussy is loud, his balls slapping against the rounds of your ass while your thighs hit his pelvis.
âthis what you needed, right? what you been whininâ for?â eren grunts in your face, taking your lips in his for passionate kiss, moaning together.
ây-yesss, mmmph,â the pleasure swarming in your stomach feels foreign, whimpering from every stroke he gives you, clawing at his sides. it felt so fucking good, your eyes scrolling and your breath inordinate along with his. âdick feel so good, âren.â
âmhm hmm,â his face curls up, leaving an open mouthed kiss on your cheek and behind your ear, his touches making your body burn. âi hear it, sheâs creamy as fuck.â
and it was, peering down between where you two connect to see him covered in you, the sticky slaps making his eyes lose focus, rutting into you harder. so hard it makes you scream, that sweet spot being pressured and your tummy flutters.
âeâren,â you can barely see him, whines and whimpers being your only way of communication. spreading yourself wider by holding yourself open with both hands, arching your chest into his face where he sloppily eats at your brown skin again.
âtalk.â
âannngh,â your lips turn into a pout, face completely gone. every word and sound coming out brokenly. âf-feelinâ something. sâso fuckinâ deep in me. you fuck me so good. wâna cum on it.â
âmhm, cum on it. cum on your dick baby, make it creamier.â
itâs quiet at first when you cum, legs shaking almost violently as eren lets go of the tub and lays his entire weight onto you, tucking you fully underneath to angle his hips and dig his dick in deeper, rough and steady pivots making you reach for his hair to tug, knocking off his hat. his fingers grip your cheeks, big hand almost covering your whole face as he brings his forehead to yours, growling rough.
âyess. give. it. to. me. lemme hear it.â
âg-god, y-yessss, fuck. right there, right there. please donât fuckinâ stop . . oh my god.â
a long, exasperated groan disperses, vibrating in your chest and in his ears, hiccups and gasps following as you clench and suck him tighter. he feels the throb from your orgasm, dick twitching inside of you, rolling his waist and keeping you close to let you ride it out and feel it longer.
âtake your time, there we go. feel it all.â
it pulsates harder from hearing him, grasping his wrist and releasing whatâs been caged within you; a cry. âoh . . my . . g-god. eren!â
itâs not that youâre hurt, itâs that youâre experiencing too much at once. overwhelming pleasure, your husbandâs embrace, the way he speaks to you, fucks you, the love you have for him, how he loves you, and even the annoying rise of hormones from your ovulation. a cry bolts from you, body convulsing and your voice dying out, grinding mindlessly on his dick and kissing his lush lips.
âthatâs it, itâs okay.â
erenâs kissing all over your face, soothing you and giving you time before he holds you close to his chest and turns himself around so heâs leaning up, resting his head back on the spa pillow and twisting you so your back is to his chest. he balances your weight, taking the initiative to sling your right arm over his shoulder, eren smoothing his palms up the back of your thighs before locking your knees to your chest with his forearms.
âyou good, baby?â eren whispers, smooching your cheek again.
chewing at your lips, you nod. âuh huh.â
eren moans as your fingers thread through the brown coils of his hair, tugging and planting a kiss on the shell of his ear, jumping slightly from the way he patted your pussy with his dick, sinking back in deliciously slow. with your lips parting in sync, eren flattens his feet to fuck up inside of you, your walls spasming from how good it feels and the sensitivity.
collecting the tresses of his messy hair, you fist it harder which makes him fuck you harder. your tits bouncing on your chest you fondle at.
âwatch us,â he says, placing both of his hands on either side of your head to force your head down to stare at how he fucked you, keeping your legs locked with his arms.
the sloppy collision of your stickiness coating his cock that plunges into you roughly, his heavy hits making the both of you whimper. eren begins to grow so weak from being in your pussy and the hard labor heâd done today, and you can tell by the slowness in his pace after a few minutes. heâs throbbing hard, knowing heâs close to cumming, wanting to making him feel it too. he also had to get up early and still eat dinner, so did you.
â âren,â slithering your head from his grasp, you guide them to sit at your waist, his fingers digging into your flesh as you tug at his hair again and nibble at your bottom lip.
moving your body further up, you arch your chest forward and implant your feet flat to the surface, snapping your ass down to fuck him instead. eren tightens his hold on you, jaw slacking and squeezing his eyes shut while placing his forehead on your shoulder. you gasp, bouncing on him and constantly groping at your chest, skin clapping louder.
âyou gâna cum in me, baby?â you speak with a whiny tone, taunting him.
ây-yeah, baby. please. bounce on that shit harder,â eren sucks at your side again, retracting his hand to land a harsh spank under your thigh, dangerously close to your cunt. âfuck, you do it so good, ê°âĄê±. do it so good.â
âmmmm,â you smile drunkenly. âthis daddyâs pussy, right?â
eren whines, and you love when he gets this way, so horny he lets his guard down. makes sounds he wouldnât usually make. his tongue on you again causes your hips to stutter, that pressure building back up, a shaky moan pressing out the harder you fuck yourself on him.
âitâs daddyâs pussy. oooh, shit baby. donât stop, iâm gâna bust all in your pâussy.â
âall in my pussy?â harder, faster, you pounce your ass down, knees hiking and reconnecting as you drop down completely, feeling your orgasm near and riding him by scooting your ass on him.
âall . . in itâ fuck. good girl.â
weakness fills your bones, loosing your balance completely, eren bellowing out curses and grunts as he locks his hand around your neck to pull your back to him again, swiveling his hips with yours while you both ride out the wave. heaving on the side of your face after he lays his cheek on yours, warm cum leaking into you while you gush all over him in exchange.
eren softly kisses at your shoulder, embracing you in his hold and moaning from your walls clenching on him. you canât even find the energy to speak, enduring the comforting silence and weak breathing. rubbing your arms and molding his face with yours, skin to skin a necessity for him. rocking you side by side, smiling into his forearm he used to lock against your neck, inhaling the coconut fragrance in your hair.
âwe need a shower, and that chicken pie i worked hard to make for you.â
âand that strawberry pie,â eren chuckles within the crook of your neck. âiâll eat it all just for you.â
âyou better.â

â chrollo lucilfer x f!reader x hisoka morow
syn: Hisokaâs âgenerosityâ allows Chrollo to fuck you in front of him after heâs seen the way the latter has looked at you. Though, the redhead cannot help but join in on the fun despite being the cuckâhe has his ways, he always does.
18+ MDNI; explicit smut, porn without plot, cuckolding, voyeurism, threesome, creampie unprotected sex, multiple orgasms (f & m), anal (f), masturbation (m), edging, overstimulation, hisoka uses bungee gum, chrollo might be pining over reader, not beta read.
word count: 2.8k
notes: divider: cafekitsune. the fruit of my late night thoughts nod nod. as per poll results, hereâs hisoka as the cuck :3
Fantasizingâa childrenâs pastime, a mere way to escape from oneâs gruelling reality but Chrollo Lucilfer would be lying to himself if he deemed he wasnât immune to it. Oh, he certainly wasnât without a doubt; the root of all his wildest dreams, and twisted carnal desires was none other than the woman beneath him, all in her serene nakednessâyou.
So breathtakingly exquisiteâthe epitome of beauty. From the lust-clouded gaze that complimented the colour of your eyes all the way to the dulcet tone of your breaths, this was sinful heaven for Chrollo. Sinful not because of the sharp pleasure kissing down his spine but simply because you werenât his, and he wasnât yours. Not lovers, not friends, mere acquaintances, and your heart was reserved for none other than a member of the Troupe he led.
But that never stopped Chrollo from fantasizing about you, about this. Ever the observant fighter, it didnât take long for Hisoka to catch the formerâs lingering stares on youâalbeit, as blank as a sheet of paperâwhenever he paraded you around. One of the biggest telling signs was that Chrollo had never uttered a word regarding your presence whenever you sat there during their meetings despite the other membersâ dismay.
Of course, once something piqued Hisokaâs curiosity, he wouldnât let go until a solid answer was handed to him on a silver platter. It was a short exchange between the two males, a few sharp retorts from Hisokaâs end but nonetheless, it led to this lewd scene. Per the magicianâs words, he gave Chrollo permission to do whatever he pleased to youâto fuck, to make love, to get lost in eye-rolling pleasure within your very walls but only if he got to watch everything unfold.
From the intimate act of undressing, and peeling of clothes all the way to a passionate climax that was sure to vex his very bones, Hisoka was to watch it all.
Faint squeaks of the bed frame paired with yours, and Chrolloâs heated gasps filled every corner of the room; his thrusts were deep, and rapid, body intimately flushed against your own which absolutely left no room for coherent words to come outâwith the way his cockhead repeatedly prodded your sweet spot, strings of broken whimpers, and low moans were the best you could muster.
Sex wasnât something you were foreign with but the ungodly rhythm of Chrolloâs hips was enough to make you feel like a virgin again begging for more, more, more, nothing but pleasure engrained inside your mind, clawing, and running after that blissful sensation.
Chrollo was different from Hisoka, he handled you with the utmost gentleness but that didnât take away the fact that he pounded you oh-so-passionately into the ivory mattress beneath. On the other hand, Hisoka was rough, and animalisticâpurely driven by his wild carnal desires.Â
Chrolloâs sweat-lined forehead rested against yours, face mere centimetres from your own as your breaths intertwined in a vulgar dance. The hearts of his palms captured your trembling hands in a firm hold, pinning them on either side of your head, and used as leverage to drive his cock deeper into your sopping cuntâas deep as his desires went for you.
He closed his eyes at the feel of your walls clenching around him, jaw tightening as electric pleasure shot up his spine, âF-fuck . .â God, you felt divine, Chrollo truly wanted to keep you to himself. He could treat you so much better than Hisokaâhave you reach new heights of pleasure youâve never experienced before.
Alas, that was out of the picture, Chrollo would have to settle for the mere intimacy of fucking you beneath these ivory covers, the same ones you, and Hisoka retire under after a long, tiring day. The duvet draped loosely across Chrolloâs back, mirroring a broken angelâs wings, and with the eager thrusts of his hips, it slowly slipped downwards. It was hot, and stuffy beneath the weight of the blanket but heâd do anything to keep the lewd intimacy from a pair of prying eyes.
Thatâs right, Hisoka sat on a chair not too far off the foot of the bed, an unamused expression plastered on his face but the growing tent between his spreaded legs hinted far from unamused.
Sure, the pornographic sounds bouncing off the walls had his cock hardening but Hisoka was deprived. He clicked his tongue, the sharp sound was enough to reel Chrollo out of his pleasured state followed by a stutter in his thrusts. âIâm glad youâre having fun, Chrollo but I said to give me a show, didnât I?â What was Hisoka supposed to do with your bodies tucked beneath the covers?Â
His view was nothing but the top half of Chrolloâs naked back, and the covers moving along with the latterâs thrusts, other than that, it left everything to Hisokaâs imagination. Of course, he wasnât going to let it be, not after he generously let Chrollo fuck you like this.
With a swift flick of his index finger, the rubbery bright pink aura extended from the tip of his digit all the way to the ivory covers atop Chrolloâs naked back, attaching itself onto the fabric. A smirk crept its way up to Hisokaâs face as he pulled the covers down, exposing the way your naked bodies intimately tangled with one another.
A rather surprised gasp left your lips as the cool air hugged your fervent body, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake. Naturally, this had also caught Chrollo off guard but didnât let on, instead, the raven haired male responded by drilling his hips at a much faster pace, pulling a string of broken moans from your throat which only fuelled the excitement embedded in Hisokaâs chest.
Light amber eyes fixated where you and Chrollo met, Hisoka intently watched as the formerâs cock disappeared, and reappeared between your coated slitânot to mention the light sheen of your essence around Chrolloâs cock, causing it to glimmer beneath the afternoon rays that seeped through the windows. Now, this was what Hisoka wanted to seeâyou, and Chrollo all in your filthy glory.
The feeling of blood rapidly rushing down to his cock, and the familiar tingle between his legs made Hisokaâs citrine gaze roll back, not to mention the growing delight on his faceâit was anything but an innocent look. Lewd, wet sounds that were once muffled beneath the ivory duvet now reached Hisokaâs ears like an unholy melody; the constant skin slapping, the mixture of high, and low moansâthe impurity of it all, your lover revelled in it.
Sounds of the redheadâs shameless pornographic moans intertwined with your own, and Chrolloâs as he teased himself through the fabric of his pants. Excitement shocked every part of his body like electricity, rendering him sensitive to anything, and everythingâit was the same sensation as the extreme bloodlust he felt whenever he thirsted for battle.
Chrollo quietly clicked his tongue, not bothering to glance back at Hisoka in annoyance. He needed to focus on you. And he did. Without compromising the pace of his hips, Chrollo hooked his fingers beneath the back of your right knee, and deftly slung your whole leg atop his shoulder. The deeper angle of his cock had your back arching, your hands scrambled for his taut biceps to claw, and dig into as he pushed you further, and further into the borders of insanity.
âC-Chrollo! Fuckâright there! Just like thatâhaah!â
He let out a low groan as your nails marked him up, leaving streaks of bright red on his skin. By the looks of it, he wasnât going to last much longer with the way your cunt gripped him like a vice. Nonetheless, Chrolloâs pace didnât let up despite the resistance of your walls, albeit, it had his legs quivering, and breath hitchingâgod, Hisoka was so fucking lucky to have this, to have you.
Chrollo closed his eyes, and parted his lips to make way for soft pants, he focused his entire body in chasing yours, and his pleasure, basking in the ultimate bliss his body was currently experiencing.
Yes. Yes. Yeâ
âShe likesâhaah! She likes taking it from behindângh!â The raven haired male shot his eyes open at the sound of Hisokaâs wanton voice, the concentration he once held faltering just a bit from the sudden noise.
Despite Chrolloâs better judgement, he hauled you into the position like a mere ragdoll, deftly handling your limp body with equal amounts of roughness, and gentleness. Though, your arms violently shook, and gave out as soon as Chrollo re-entered your cunt. With your torso flush against the ivory sheets, your lower half remained in positionâeasier for him to drive his cock deeper; you swore you could feel him in your throat.
The redhead let out a low chuckle, eager hands messily pulling his pants down to free his hard cock; Hisoka sighed at the lack of restraint, and threw his head back, exposing the length of his neck.Â
With the new position, Chrollo returned to the pace he had set earlier, heavy balls slapping against your clit from each hard thrust. Skin against skin burned like a searing blaze but god did it feel amazing, not to mention how it stimulated your sensitive bud in all the right ways.
Chrollo curled over himself to place wet open-mouthed kisses down the length of your spine, moaning low saccharine praises in between. He pushed, and pushed into your sopping cunt until the coil deep in your stomach violently snapped. With a loud moan of his name muffled against the damp sheets, your back arched as you came around Chrolloâmuscles taut, and knuckles a shade of ivory while pleasure gnawed at your skin.
Hisoka unabashedly fisted at his cock, one hand focused on pleasuring himself while the other sunk into the plush of the armchair. He matched the pace of his hand to Chrolloâs hips, imagining that it was your cunt instead of his palm, albeit, your velvety walls absolutely compared to nothing. Oh well, heâll get a taste of you one way or another.
It didnât take long for Chrollo to follow suit, driving his hips a couple more times before completely pulling out, and blowing his entire load on your bare back. He let out a shameless moan of your nameâthe loudest one heâs let out. Thick, milky ribbons of Chrolloâs cum unceremoniously painted your skin white, and all he could do was stare at it in a haze while his chest heaved up, and down.
On the other hand, Hisoka gave himself a few more rough pumps before squeezing the base of his leaking cock, lustily letting out a hiss as the pleasure heâd worked so hard for slowly dissipated. He cursed in between rough pantsâthe hunger for a sweet release just grew tenfold after depriving himself of an orgasm.
Hisoka had something better in mind than cumming on his hand.
âI guess itâs my turn.â Strong, muscular legs slightly quivered with every step taken towards the bed, cock standing proudly against his abdomen. Chrollo only narrowed his eyes at Hisoka, clearly displeased by his sudden initiative.
The former returned a smile, âOh, donât get greedy now, Chrollo. Iâll give you two choicesââ He held out two long digits. âEither you sit, and watch or join in on the fun.â
Never in a million years would Chrollo even think to engage in a threesome with you, and Hisoka. He didnât know what bothered him more, the fact that you were the latterâs lover or the fact that he was on the same bed as Hisoka. Nonetheless, here he was balls deep inside your ass, completely unhindered by inhibitions. Hisoka cursed at the feel of your wet cunt, biting his lips at the lewd sound it made as your hot cum coated his cock.
The redhead laid flat on his back, cunt wrapped around him while you straddled his lap which left Chrollo to take care of your backside. Your body remained slumped against Hisokaâsâlimp, and quivering as if one wrong move would have you exploding to bits. Could you really blame yourself? Both men stretched you out like it was their sole purpose, it did nothing but put your body under immense pleasure.
You were sandwiched between Hisoka, and Chrollo as though mimicking a mere fly caught in a spiderâs silken web, unable to escape. And that usually meant one thing: to wait for oneâs impending doom before the ruthless arachnid strikes.
An experimental thrust of their hips had you wailing in pleasure. Having not given enough time to come down from your high, you were still too sensitiveâany form of sexual stimulation immediately had your body uncontrollably shaking, and hot tears lining your eyes. Hisoka cupped your jaw with both hands, lifting your face in front of his own before closing the distance; heated, and rough just how he liked it; the redhead didnât hesitate shoving his tongue past your lips, intimately exploring the inside of your mouth with the wet muscle.
If anything, the messy kiss was enough to distract you from the sudden rough pistoning of their hipsâHisoka gleefully swallowed your wanton moans, and relished at the burning sensation of your nails scratching down his bare chest. The bed creaked under the weight of their merciless thrusts with the headboard atop Hisokaâs head repeatedly banging the wall behind it; these sounds mixed with the lewd melody the three of you produced filled all four corners of the room.
It was funny, anyone would think that a Hisoka, and Chrollo tandem would be a match made in hell; highly volatile once paired together which would result in utter chaos but thisâthe two moved in perfect unison as though they shared one mind, one ideal. Even only if it was for this moment that they saw one another eye to eye, a wordless union to bring you to another orgasm.
A thin, translucent string of saliva connected your lips to Hisokaâs as he pulled away for a breather, hot breaths mingling with one another as you panted in eachother's face. A sense of pride bloomed across his crimson-marked chest as he watched your lust-filled eyes roll to the back of your headâHisoka always had a thing for your expressions during sex, it served as fuel to keep going, to keep fucking you.
You looked beautiful bouncing on their cocks, head falling forward while taking their entire length like a champ; the only thing you could really do was grip onto Hisokaâs shoulders, and moan for your dear life. Chrollo couldnât help but fixate on the way your ass jolted with every thrust, even just the sight of his cock disappearing, and reappearing between the globes of your ass had his head spinning.
It didnât take long for you to reach yet another orgasm, and this time, it was more intense than the previous one; hot tears ran down your damp cheeks as your body convulsed from pleasure, a drawn out moan of their names combined scratched at your throat. As though he was punched in the gut, Chrollo curled over himself as you clenched around his cock, and attached his lips on your right shoulder, biting down hard at the bare skin.
Hisoka muttered sweet nothings while stroking your hair, amusement filling his tone; you laid there drowning in pleasure while both men remained chasing their own bliss, hips stuttering. It was filthy, and soaking wet where Chrollo, and Hisoka entered you, arousal mixed with your cum messily dripping down the latterâs balls, and onto the sheets beneath.
Chrolloâs digits dug into your skin, he sheathed his cock all the way inside your ass before emptying all his cum inside; he rode out his orgasm by grinding his hips, earning a dainty gasp of his name. Chrollo violently shuddered before releasing your skin from his teeth, he lapped, and kissed at the marks, helping ease the painful sensation he left.
This left Hisoka to firmly plant his feet on the mattress, and thrust upwards which sent your body bouncing once more; short gasps turned into full blown wanton moans as his cockhead repeatedly kissed your sweet spot, bringing your body into overstimulation. Hisoka groaned loudly as the familiar feeling at the pit of his stomach returned, you could tell he was close from the way his fingers gripped your waist with such desperation.
Strings of colourful curses left your loverâs throat as he came inside you, ribbons of his thick essence filling your walls all the way to the brim âtil it leaked out, and dripped down his balls.
Heavy pants filled the room, the smell of sinful sex hung heavy in the air. The three of you remained still for a moment to catch your breaths but the short time also allowed your minds to clear of lust, and for the whole situation to actually settle inâof what the three of you just did.
Though, it was safe to say that Chrollo wasnât going to let you escape from his hold any time soonâas though he had you entangled in bands of swathing silkâespecially after finally getting a taste of you.
